  • this is very helpful for review. our style varies slightly but the basics are here. I'm curious why everyone is SO critical... there are different styles, different abilities, different ideas, but all from the same origin. why can't we all just get along? :-)

  • Thanks for this video I can practice the kata at home thanks to it.

    From 1910CE-1945CE what is now North & South Korea was the province of Chosen of the Japanese Empire. The Korean native Martial Arts were subdued and the Japanese Martial Arts were given focus throughout the province of Chosen. During the 1950s Gen. Hi would come up with Tae Kwon Do. The Ryukyu Te/Okinawan Karate had only been in mainland Japan since the 1930s (Okinawan 1st prefectual time period was 1879CE-1945CE). So, there is truth in your statement, so I believe. Osu

  • Shito-Ryu, Goju Kai, Go Kan Ryu, Kyokushin, Shuri-Ryu have their own Taikyoku kata based upon the original Shotokan. The korean arts of Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do have thier variations as well called Kicho Hyung. A common symbol used in Korean arts for the Kicho Hyung is a human baby learning to walk.

  • The Chinese kanji used for the name Taikyoku pronounced as "Tai Chi" in Chinese, which translated as "Grand Ultimate". In keeping with this idea when I teach / train in these katas i do it Tai Chi style and I also combine the three kata as one kata because of the shortness of each of the kata. In Japanese, Taikyoku translates as "First Cause" and was developed by GM Funakoshi's son, Yoshitaka “Gigō” Funakoshi Sensei.

  • GM Funakoshi wrote: “Because of its simplicity, the kata is easily learned by beginners. Nevertheless, as its name implies, this form is of the most profound character and one to which, upon mastery of the art of karate, an expert will return to select it as the ultimate training kata” (page 42, ‘Karate-Do Kyohan’

  • taikyoku refers to the Chinese philosophy of Taiji. it was introduced fist in Shotokan by GM Funakoshi as a way to simplify the principles of the already simplified Heian / Pinan katas. GM Oyama was a student of GM Funakoshi and thus these katas were introduced in Kyokushin. However in the modern day not many karate systems Hombu still require these itroductory katas
