i think it's 'boxing form', which was from bill packer's system of kenpo (akka via traco via tracy). i like the stance shifts and the....well, the feel of doing it.

Without a doubt, it's the IKCA Master Form. It's a 58 (if you include the Yellow Stripe & Yellow Belt sections it's actually 68) man mass attack done in one fluid set. Love it!

Forgot the traditional style form - non-traditional part is the Master Form from the IKCA.
Traditional form - I think I'd probably have to go with Kanku Dai or Patsai Sho.

So far it's Heian Godan(except for the jump) and Tjimandjet...

I'm a Taekwondo practitioner, so in our 3 different flavors of WTF sanctioned poomse (aka, kata for Japanese style practitioners), my favorite forms are:
Tae Geuk: Sam Jang, 3rd form
Pal Gwe: Pal Jang, 8th form
Black: Tae Bak, 3rd form, although Koryo, the 1st BB form is also pretty cool too, and a hard workout if one performs it correctly and with conviction.
TKD and the MAs, great stuff... :asian:

Is that the Shotokan version or the Wado Ryu one? I enjoy doing most of the Wado ones probably Kushanku best though.

The Wado version. Yep, looking forward to getting instruction in Kushanku myself.
I also very much enjoyed doing the first kenjutsu kata (Ikkajo - Itsutsu no tachi) of Katori Shinto Ryu. Especcially since they are done against an uke.

Wayhey for Wado! Kushanku can be confusing because if you get distracted even for a second you can go off into one of the other katas it seems to be made of! I think that's why it's so satisfying to do. The most satisfying kata for me ever was my very first one Pinan Nidan, I'd watched people doing kata and thought no way could I do that and it seemed strange to do, having never done kata before but oh the joy in passing my first grading with that in it! I still do it despite now doing another style Tang Soo Do. I have to say the patterns in that seem easier and less satisfying after the Wado ones, perhaps it's just me.

Hmmm... I like Pal Sek, because right now it's a little challenging for me to learn at the moment. There's a bunch of different moves, some of which is in fact in other forms I've learned, and some are quite new. Plenty of twists and turns I'm not expecting, and the more advanced brown and black belts kind of just "blast" through it like it's nothing when we're lined up together... I also like Chulgi 1, which is another one the advanced brown and black like to "blast" through, but I have the speed for that one now.

I understand about the jump. Some of us are not as young as others. I found it intimidating when I watched the higher belts do it, but I picked it up fairly well when my time came. The jump in empi is my new worry. I really enjoy bassai dai and heian sandan.
Yang Tai Chi Form Simplified. I like it even better than the traditional Long Form. For the hard style arts it would be a toss-up between the ITF Chon-Ji forms and the JKA styel Heian forms.
