This question is too difficult for me to give just one answer.

In no particular order, out of the kata I have learned:

Heian Nidan

Kanku-Dai

Tekki Nidan

To search for the old is to understand the new.

The old, the new, this is a matter of time.

In all things man must have a clear mind.

After working on Sepai and Sesan for the past 10 years or so, I recently started revisiting Saifa in depth again. So, presently I like Saifa best ;)

ahhh good old Saifa. It is one of the best to watch students try and figure out applications for

My favorite is seiyunchin, though i am really enjoying shisochin.

Goju Seiyunchin or other? Oh man shisochin can be a pain in the butt to get right, but a fun one to do. Especially to make students to go "WHAT THE!!!!"

I don't train any other versions, just Okinawan Goju ryu

It does look mystical almost. I really do enjoy it- mixture of delicate movement and violent strkes

Well i have kata from three different styles. my Shorin ryu is through SMOKA lineage so it includes Shorinji ryu kata. and i now practice Uechi ryu.

of the Matsumura Seito kata my favorite is Naihanchi Shodan. of my Shorinji kata my favorite is Seisan. and of the kata i know of Uechi so far i really like Kanshu. i think the Uechi kata will change over time as i learn more kata.

For the elbows when you pivot i love. The idea of breaking someone's arms in that manner I love.

I love Bassai Dai and Naihanchi.

The next one I'm learning will be Kanku Dai. I'm looking forward to that!

Seek Perfection of Character
