@irishkrim I could suggest the same point about Wankan as I did concerning the Schumann Fantasia to a 19-year-old concert pianist: when you are twice or three times your current age, you will do it differently.
-
@sfkcbf : I also think Wankan is amazing. It was the first black belt kata i learnt ;)
-
What do you mean by "final" kata?
It is neither the latest/youngest nor the highest kata to be mastered, but might vary depending on the ryu learned.
Btw. It's not on me Grandmaster to criticize Kanazawa-san, but.... we at the DJKB (German branch of JKA) won't have neko ashi dachi but zenkutsu dachi instead at the beginning. Is it the same with you guys out there?

i have belt exam this weekend!
oh by the way, is wankan the final kata?
-
@1995leonhard That's the problem with being a 7th Kyu, you think you've ever "learned" a kata. You might be able to copy out the movements, however you will never have mastered this Kata.
-
Black belt is not the point or goal in karate...
-
@sfkcbf Too many young karateka do not know the essence of karate.

i learned this as 7th kyu. by myself, it's not that hard!?

I have been involved with Shotokan & JKA karate for half a century, have studied in the past with 14 Japanese masters, lived with Master Kanazawa in London; and I still single him out for special respect and admiration, not only as a karateka, but also for his character. To this day, I have his portrait on my office wall. In some ways, Wankan became my favorite kata in later years, for I found many satisfying subtleties in it. Too many young karateka like Kumite but miss the value of kata.

Kata are not limited to particular Dans. Each kata, every kata, is a complete fighting system. From white to black belt, the same kata can be taught, and as one advances, one learns more applications, and comes to truly understand the kata. And as you do you begin to unlock the hidden moves and subtle techniques. A basic technique BECOMES a master technique when it is done with perfect precision and speed. And so a master using the same move as a student may seem to be doing a different move.
