kamikaiguy Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I would have to say without a doubt that My number 1 favorite Kata is Annan followed by Hyakuhachiho (Suparempei). Annan for the open handed bunkai and Hyakuhachiho for it's depth in bunkai and the infighting taught in the kata. Mushin - To act with No Mind -- One of the Most important Philosphies in Karate.

HachiKyu Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I love the kata Tekki Shodan and also i love doing Enpi also my favorite kata of them all would probably be Meikyo just becuase like Wankan it is not performed often and also becuase Meikyo is easy with tis short moves and i like Tekki because it has easy strong Kiai points and its all done in Kiba Dachi and i like Enpi becuase of the fast ness of the kata and that it is made for the person who is more agile and fast a person who can get in and get out like attack and get out sort of thing.
