Tobias_Reece Posted June 8, 2001 Share 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.

ts757 Posted June 8, 2001 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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.

Karateka Posted June 24, 2001 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
