JKA - Tekki Sandan

Tekki Sandan - There are two differing versions of this kata, both coming from the same kata but using different arm movements in a number of points. If someone tells you that they know Tekki Sandan and then does something different from what you are used to they may be right as well! Tekki Sandan is characterized by a number of short, sharp arm movements.

Point To Work On - Make sure that the appropriate pausing points are adhered to. It is all too easy to rush through some parts of this kata.

[IEKUKATAKA]

The JKA grades kata on a ten element grading system. In 1654 when an Okinawan karate disciple wanted to remember applications he saw or envisioned and developed his own kata, do you think he cared about a grading system? I think he viewed the kata on whether the techniques were executed like a fight or not. Martial arts are systems of combat skills and karate is a martial art. Did you ever wonder where all this tournament junk came from? Ever wonder if it was not karate at all?

Try and have a look at Tekki Oyo! A compilation of all three Tekki Kata......used by Kase Senseis students, talk about feeling like a beginner.

Yeah, those hand movements were crazy to figure out the first day of doing this kata. This video helped so freaking much
