    Shotokan Katas

    The heart of Shotokan.

    Enough for a lifetime.

    Below you will find a list of all of the katas that are taught in the classical Shotokan Karate system. I have
    made a point of specifying the location of the various kiai points, and some of the techniques that are first
    introduced. Also the number of movements in the kata, as well as the approximate time in which each of
    the katas should be performed.

    I recognize that Taikyoku Shodan, Taikyoku Nidan, and Taikyoku Sandan, are not taught at every
    Shotokan dojo. However, I have listed them here since all three of these katas are referenced by Master
    Gichin Funakoshi in his book, Karate-Do Kyohan. It is important for students to remember as they rise up
    through the various kyu levels, and Dan ranks, that regular practice of all of the katas are vital to their
    future progress.

    Remember: "Learning the pattern of all twenty-six


    katas found in the Shotokan system is one thing.
    Truly understanding them, however, is a process
    that will take you an entire lifetime".

    My thanks to Shihan John Ang, 6th Dan, Chief Instructor of The Australian Ninjukai Association, for
    allowing me to copy the images below of the various coloured belts from his web site.

    Also, my thanks go to Shihan Scot Mertz, Chief Instructor of the World Shotokai Federation, for allowing
    me to transfer all the photographs of the various Shotokan katas, and their embusen from his web site.

    Remember: "It is far better to do a few katas very


    well, than a great many katas very badly. Train
    with patience".
