Sho-ju Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 Ananku is a nice short kata and we will be studying other Okinawan kata... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I like the slide steps in Ananku - the way they help you learn to be a bit more evasive in your maneuvers. And I like the way it emphasizes the side block. Modify that side block a bit and scoop catch a kick and your sparring partner sits down in a hurry.
