Taikyoku Shodan
Taikyoku Shodan (Kihon Kata)
Kata History
Taikyoku Shodan - first cause - is the first Kata all students learn. It contains just one stance, one block, and one attack, making it easy for beginners to assimilate. Yet the Kata is also known as the most difficult to master, for beneath the simplicity of it's movements lie the underlying principles of Karate-do.
The Embusen is a capital letter 'H'.
