Killer Miller Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Chinto for me.... then maybe Tomari Bassai.... Hi Jason, I never cared that much for Chinto. I was curious what it was that you liked about the Kata? - Killer - Mizu No KokoroShodan - Nishiyama SenseiTable Tennis: http://www.jmblades.com/Auto Weblog: http://appliedauto.mypunbb.com/Auto Forum: http://appauto.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarateTips Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Hi Killer, I like Chinto because it's difficult to do well. The crane stances and strikes really require you to have good balance and coordination. I guess you could say I like to try to master difficult things.... it gives a sense of self-achievement and continually pushes me to try harder. Thanks for your question.

Faith Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hi Guys I would have to agree with Angus that my favorite kata has to be sanchin, I find in so elegant maybe not so when done by myself as I am not fortunate to be built like most woman that do karate I have obstacles to over come but after a little adjustment I dont do bad ha ha!! but does play havoc on the old legs but hay all worth while in the end I think. Bye for now :pony: Sarah xx I believe you can go far on a strong heart, clear mind and alot of faith, and to make this all work is your determination to sucessed.

Kirves Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I love Chinto for it's throws and takedowns, some of my favorites there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I have a couple favorites: Pretty much everything from red belt up. I love Advanced Form 5, Chung-Mu, and K-Beck (black belt kata). Not sure on the spellings, and I know they are not true to the traditional versions. Advanced Form 5 is a pretty complex kata, and the first one to have a jump in it. The best part is the powerful beginning, however. Underarm blocks followed by tense hook punches, sliding the feet together. Chung-Mu is a fairly difficult kata. Has a jump kick and a jump-spinning move...pretty rare in our katas. K-Beck I like because it's my highest kata right now. Other than that, it's not really that great. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickChick Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 . I love Advanced Form 5, Chung-Mu, and K-Beck (black belt kata). Not sure on the spellings, and I know they are not true to the traditional versions. FYI ... Gae-Bek (and Choong-Moo) but then again I've seen it spelled differently but never as K-Beck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbitbob Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 (edited) Training in Seibukan Shorin-Ryu now, adn loving Chinto. Its quite different from Gankaku of Shotokan, or Chinto of the Shito-Ryu style. Closer tothe Matsubayashi-Ryu version. Very challenging!
