Nidan Melbourne Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 At the tournaments that you compete in specifically kata, what are the ones that you will perform at every single tournament or what is your general lineup of kata that you perform?

nyramat911 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I haven't competed seriously in a few years (since shitei kata was eliminated), so my repertoire then was-bassai dai-seinchin-kosokun sho-gojushiho -nipaipo-chatanyara kusankuIn case you didn't guess, I'm a Shito Ryu practitioner It's not about the medals you win, it's about how much you improve.

Nidan Melbourne Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 The second I saw Nipaipo I figured you were Shito-Ryu but also the fact it is under your "styles" biography. My list isJion SeeiunchinSeisan Seipai Kururunfa Suparempei (will be my dominant finals kata unless I have to pull it out earlier) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazzybear Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Up unitl now it's just been Pinan katas for me. But now I've moved up to the 3rd-1st Kyu category, my repertoire will change. As I only need 3 kata for this section, I'm planning to go with the following:ChintoJion WanshuAlthough I've not fully learned Jion or Wanshu, the next Kata competition is not until March/April time, so I have time to work on them.Mo. Be water, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 In TKD, we have to do the form pertinent to our rank. Right now, I would be doing a version of Choong Jang if I were to compete. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupin1 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 We don't really do tournaments. Last and only one I've ever competed in, I was 10 years old and an orange belt. I did our (Isshinryu-ized and watered down for beginners) version of Anaku. Got 2nd place in a division with much higher ranks.If I were to compete now, I would want to do Kusanku, though my best kata is Seisan (as it should be). My instructor, however, has always had a rule that all brown belts have to compete with Chinto (one of my least favorite katas). So that's probably what I'd end up doing.

I believe it had something to do with developing power through spinning movements and timing or something like that. So it's not so much the wanting us to compete with it as it is wanting us to spend a month or two tirelessly practicing and dissecting that particular kata at the brown belt level. Granted, he could ask us to do that anyway, but nothing motivates you to seriously get to know a kata better than a little competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
