BuDoc The doctor will see you now Registered: 05/03/05 Posts: 1067 Loc: USA and Abroad	Many of us have been exposed to many kata. Some of them you practice diligently, others you discard. I would like you to choose ONE kata. Choose the one that you think contains the most valuable principles or the greatest number of principles. This might be a kata you don't like, is not the prettiest, or the easiest or most challenging. You only get one. This will be the only one you can practice for the rest of your MA career. Choose wisely If you would like, you can state why. However you do not have to. Page _________________________ Medical Advisor for the Somolian National Sumo Team

There's a nasty 'thumb into throat' technique I love and a lovely 'knee in the testicles'. Also the only fumikomi geri found in our style is in the kata. Lovely opening in close fighting to let your opponent drop his guard without being able to retreat, as you stomp on his foot.

shoshinkan Professional Poster Registered: 05/10/05 Posts: 2662 Loc: UK	naihanchi for me. simple effective principles that are very useable in self defense. nice variation of techniques ie ridge hand, enpi, yoko tsuki, low kick, cross stepping, double arm actions, same arm strike after block, loads of tuite and kyusho. its endless and a foundation in okinawan karate IMO.
