My favorite kata(s) at the moment are KuSanKu (KanKu Dai) and Pinan Yondan (Heian Yondan).

 

For whatever reason, these seem to flow naturally to me.

 

they're fun

[Karateka]

Those Katas are fun.

 

 

[WadoGuy]

Quite fun

 

I'm fine tuning KuSanKu right now. The Pinans seem to lead up to KuSanKu.

 

Pretty cool

[Tobias_Reece]

Apparantly, the Heians (Pinans) were developed from Kanku-Dai (Kusanku)

 

 

[KUGB_Chris1985]

This is true Tobias, all the Heians were taken from Kanku-dai and expanded, this is why in some forms of karate Kanku-Dai is the 1st kata to be taught!

 

 

 

[WadoGuy]

Yep, now that I've learned KuSanKu, it's like a lightbulb has been lit...i'm starting to see the big picture forms wise in Wado Ryu.

 

pretty neat

[Tobias_Reece]

Yup, but I just hate Kanku-DAi so much

 

Well, no really, but it aint my favourite kata.

My favourite kata is Unsu, i'm supprised no-one else has voted 4 it!!!

 

it's a very challenging kata and i like it lots!!!

 

 

 

[Tobias_Reece]

Hi Daz, welcome to the forum.

 

Unsu is a superb kata, but only when its performed well. If performed badly, it looks crap (just like Kanku-Sho).

 

Its the jump, you see.
