i mean like a yellow belt technique : DELAYED SWORD (front - right and lapel grab)
or a orange belt technique : THRUSTING PRONGS _ Front Bear Hug, Arms Pinned
sord of ... i meant like what do you do against a right step through punch ? do you just block it or do you continue with a left palm strike right rev punch to a right rev kick ?
or is it right block to a right punch
Some of the "beginner kata" that were found in other styles were eliminated and the upper body basics were put into place to take the place of these katas (if you look and compare the 15 upper body basics are VERY comparable to Funakoshi's "Ten no Kata" that he created for new students).
What exactly do you mean by saying 'Japanese style'? We teach the same here as there, for the most part.
For my style, Isshinryu, yes, there are set techniques.
Isshinryu has 15 upper body exercises and 8 lower body exercises. Then there are 8 empty hand kata and 3 weapons kata.
