Karateka_latino Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 I don't train Kata anymore.. But my first style was Shotokan Karate and my favorite Katas were Basai Dai, Kanku dai.. and Empi. And i liked the 5 heians too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiboxerken Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Ok, since someone told me the "true definition of a kata". I'll tell you my favorite katas. Jab, cross, hook is one. Jab, cross, right kick is another. Left kick, cross, hook, right kick. Jab, cross, step-in right elbow, left elbow, up-knee and right kick is yet another. Ok, that's enough kata talk for now. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.

Angus Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 HAHAHAHA!! *Ken gives a lesson in bitching*... My favourite, in Ken's definition, would be backleg roundhouse, same hand punch to head, opposite hand to ribs, 1st 'hand' elbow to head... gotta love that kata! But let's not try to have too many arguments guys. Apparently i have an ego from telling the truth and expressing my views. Well dang.

Brooks Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 I shared a school with a Shotokan stylist. Kerry Paulie from Portland Ore. I did not always agree with the shotokan approach to martial arts but the forms are without a doubt the most exciting in the business.. To my Muay Thai brother. Fighting is not all there is to an art. What of the Ram Muay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiboxerken Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 Ram Muay isn't a kata, it's not a training method used to learn any fighting techniques. Ram Muay is merely a dance that is taught by particular schools to help warm up a fighter and sometimes even intimidate the other fighter. Each school has it's own signature Ram Muay. Also the Ram Muay pays tribute to those that have died in the battlefields of Siam, "god", parents and teachers. It is a dance of respect and tradition. Some more "kata" Footjab (stop kick) to rear leg roundhouse to the head. Slip outside of cross, to uppercut, to clinch and knee to Poota Kapala throw, to armbar. Stop kick to shin to Pak Sao, Lap Sao and armbar. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.

Karateka Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 With Ken's definition of Kata, I like the gedan kazami jodan kazami gaky tsuki, the double fake ushiro mawashi-geri, and grab the leg cross over the foot sweep punch manouver mastered by Ticky Donovan.

thaiboxerken Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 You know all the cool words. You must be a master! Wow. Can you do the "Dragon swats fly with tail" techinique?

Karateka Posted July 6, 2001 Share Posted July 6, 2001 That is the only way I can describe the techniques. Would you rather have me say front thrust punch with reverse punch and reverse roundhouse kick. Doesn't exactly have the same pzassz does it. Oh, by the way, no I am not a master because I know the words, a white belt knows the words when they first learn, it is part of their yellow belt test. Take it easy Ken!

thaiboxerken Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 Thrust punch may not sound as cool, but at least I know what you are talking about now.
