Tobias_Reece Posted June 8, 2001 Posted June 8, 2001 Hey guys, I was just wondering what everybodys favourite kata is. Personally, I quite like Jion and Jitte, as they as simple, yet powerful. I think Gankaku is also fun to perform. Tobias "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.

golden tiger Posted June 8, 2001 Posted June 8, 2001 I like a lot Bassai dai.But my favorite one is Cojushiho sho. Golden Tiger 2nd dan Shotokan Karate do
ts757 Posted June 8, 2001 Posted June 8, 2001 Um, favourite kata, well, I only know 6 (and half of several) I'd have to say I HATE kanku dai, which we have to learn... grrr.... My favourite (that I know) is heian nidan, because it's the first kata you learn that has any variation in the techniques, and that's a challenge to work out the Bunkai (that's a lame excuse isn't it...)
KUGB_Chris1985 Posted June 9, 2001 Posted June 9, 2001 My favourite kata is deffinatly Empi, I like it's combinations of controlled moves and fast, strong ones. I also like Jion which I had to learn for my 2nd Dan grading tomorrow. My favourtie Heian kata is Heian Yondan.

Bologna Posted June 20, 2001 Posted June 20, 2001 Hi, Im new here and I really don´t know how to put the belt thing, put sinceraly, answering this question, the best kata I really like is kanku dai, and one of the biggest reasons is because i had won 2 competitions in Phoenix with this kata.

Angus Posted June 23, 2001 Posted June 23, 2001 I''m generally more kumite than kata, but i like sanjin (the very first one).... i like the controlled breathing... Angus. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Karateka Posted June 24, 2001 Posted June 24, 2001 I take Shito Ryu so there may be some differences in the Katas but I like Bassai Dai, Jion, Sanchin, Sienchin, and Matsumaha Rohai "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)
