SaiFightsMS Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 This has nothing to do with katas, favorite or otherwise, but since someone brought up the habits of female religous a have a historical note. The habits of Catholic Religous orders usually have some relation to what was generally worn at the time of the orders founding and have carried down through the centuries. I cannot think of the name of the head piece that covers the sides of the head and the throat but that was a commonly worn item of clothing at one time in history. Now there is a favorite kata thread just started in general martial arts so I need to try to link it to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Clubbers_Mythology Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 My favourite kata is split between 2. which is Heian Nidan and Tekki Sandan. Tekki Sandan has basic techniques but it is very difficult to accomplish successfully. But non-the-less i must be doing something right as i have won 2 competitions with it. (is well proud) Heian Nidan is actually a difficult kata in itself. with basic things as returning kicks and getting new techniques right likr Uru Zuki etc... anyway, that's me He who controls the past commands the future,He who controls the future, conquers the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbitbob Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 "playing" with Saifa (Goju) this week. Rather fond of it. Also Seiunchin (Hayashi Ha Shi-To). I also find some of the WTF yudansha Kata interesting. There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Hate Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 i just got this video that shows Saifa and Seipai performed by Rouki Abe. so that's what a kata is supposed to be like.. seeing a kata performed that well makes me appreciate it more i haven't seen Seisan performed up close at all, but i'm really interested in it since it has lots of nasty techniques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeLovesKarate Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I personally prefer Bassai-dai. Mostly, because it's my best kata. I don't think that , usually, your favorite kata would be the one you're not good at. That's just my not-so- humble opinion.

Bratt Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 My fav up to now is probably between "Way Of The Wolverine" And "Seiunchin"...I dunno, I just like the way the moves are put together, and I understand the bunkai for them very well...Excellent Katas the are!
