Shotokan West Karate |
Kata Resources |
We practice the 26 Shotokan katas as used by Gichin Funakoshi and as documented by Hirokazu Kanazawa. For new students, the footwork and listed techniques of the first four katas, (Heian Shodan through Heian Yodan) are presented in slide presentation format. For continued learning, links to videos of sensei Kanazawa performing each of the kata are given below. Also refer to Kanazawa’s Karate, The Complete Kata, Kodansha U.S.A., 2009.
