Black Belt
Well, in my Sensei's continuing efforts to push the few white belts that care to higher levels, we have begun the kata Empi in class...I love it!
We have also worked on Ananku, which is not a Shotokan kata, but is wildly practical in it's applications, in my opinion...
As I look back over these first few months of class, I'm quite astonished with what I've learned...3 Taikayokus, 5 Heians, Jion, Bassai Dai, Tekki Shodan, Kanku Dai, 2 bo kata, Tjimandjet...and now Empi and Ananku...whew!
