quinteros1963 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I like Kanku Dai. The past is no more; the future is yet to come. Nothing exist except for the here and now. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what's clearly is clearly at hand...Lets continue to train!
Nidan Melbourne Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Personally as a student from a goju-ryu school in Melbourne, occassionaly we will do kata from another style and from shotokan my favourite so far has been empi
pers Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 LOL ! I just posted in the other thread and then saw this ! Kanku sho is my favourite these days but my favourites change every once in a while .Hangetsu is always up there , even if I don't do the whole kata I usualy the first 3 moves over and over before the start for warm up and breathing and kime , to me it is like going in slow motion how giving my mind time to evaluate the connections of muscles and limbs of my entire body , when I do the whole kata the second part of the kata when in fast mode like those three blocks and punches are the extention of those three slow moves in the beginning .So if I get the first 3 right usually the 3 fast ones would effective too .I love so many of them , unsu ,sochin ,empi , niju shiho ,hain godan and shadan .Best way to find out how competent and able a karateka is to see him do hian shodan !Any one even a yellow belt can do hian shodan , but how you do it is what matters .it is a great kata for even a 4th dan to practice and tune up their techniques .Like our sensei used to say no matter what grade you are in karate you must always pay the karate tax in your training and karate tax is basics . but as you progress in grades you do less and less , up to black belt .if you start by 100 % tax when you are a white belt by the time you reach shodan it had dropped to maybe %50 and after second dan it maybe % 30 but perhaps it should never reach less %20 . never give up !
ShotokanMaster Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 My Fav kata of Shotokan is basai dai and on Kenpo karate long form 6 I love Shotokan Karate Do and American Kenpo Karate
