Re: Which is/are your favourite Kata?

Ichiro,

What i like And what i should practice are two different things. At Some point my Sensei said that niseishi And wanshu are my best Kata among THe extra ones. By now i quite like seishan. I like actually all Kata, cant really say i have à favorite i guess. Perhaps this Will change over time.
