  • Taikyoku Shodan uses low blocks and middle blocks, Nidan uses low blocks and head level punches. Yes, they look really alike.

  • Incorrect.

    The sequence of Taikyoku Nidan is identical to that of Shodan except that in Nidan, all punches are upper level instead of middle level attacks.

  • bro, this is shodan, not nidan, nidan is middle block, not lower block, with middle level punches(this is learning from a 9th dan who trained with Giro Funakoshi in the 60's) he opened the first shotokan dojo in 1968 in New York(his name is Hector Martinez)

  • Isn't that funny. My Shito-Ryu Sensei was teaching Shotokan katas! Stupid...because looking at the techniques, he didn't even get those right!

  • this is white belt with one yellow stripe

  • Thank you very much, an excellent demonstration.

  • a great form and well preformed ^_^

  • You sir, have tremendous potential, and I can tell that it is a natural potential at that. For the future martial artists to come to you to train, don't stop your hard work.

  • Nice.

  • @ruthy08 Thank you for the reference to The Master Text, I wish there were more instructors like you.

  • wow i thought i had to learn a new kata for my next grade but i really just have to make a small change to an old one, sweet!

  • is taikyoku shodan...
