Talk:Taikyoku series

Note: On 28 Dec 2004, Taikyoku nidan was nominated for deletion. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Taikyoku nidan for a record of the discussion. The resulting discussion encouraged merging kata into a larger list of all Shotokan kata, but since these kata are not unique to Shotokan, it is more appropriate to discuss this set of kata as its own entity. This article avoids both problems, I hope. Mangojuice 20:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taikyoku Nidan

"The second kata of the series, taikyoku nidan, is nearly identical to taikyoku shodan, except that the punches up and down the middle are at jodan (high) level."

Just want to know if it only in shotokan karate, however we do Nidan with rising blocks except for the short turns up and down the I, not sure if i should write it as though all styles are like this or only shotokan

Well, in my system we don't do it that way. So, the question is, do any other styles do it that way, or only shotokan? Mangojuice^talk 12:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
