Goju1 Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 Sanchin! It doesn't look great, but without it you are nothing. Besides, the simplicity allows you to totally concentrate on the basics: stance, breathing, striking, without worrying about fancy techniques or forgetting anything. It is the true root of any Karate-do man! 'Nuff said - the root of all the katas!
Goju1 Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 Not counting Sanchin and Tensho, the breathing katas, I would say Seiunchin, not because I enjoy it as much as after all these years it is still so challenging!

stl_karateka Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Kusanku --- elagant yet powerful. Takes some endurance to do all the up/down movement. Can really show off kicks, nice 180 crescent and jump front. KarateForums.com Sempai
aefibird Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 I love performing kata, so its really difficult for me to pick a favourite! Out of the Heian kata I like Heian Nidan but I also like Enpi, Gojushiho-Sho, Jion and Kanku Sho. If I had to pick just one I'd choose Enpi, though. "Was it really worth it?

LeopardGold Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 My favorite kata out of the Heian is Heian Sandan(it also gave me the most trouble ) My favorite kata to watch would most definitely be Unsu. My favorite kata to perform is Empi.
ronryu Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 i currently like Shisochin and Seipei Karate is not a sport , it is a way of life .Sandan Motobu ha Shi-to ryu karate Katsu ryu kempo Ryukyu kobudo
Nick_14 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Cant decide between Heian Godan and Empi. I like the jumps
