TAIKYOKU SANDAN SHOTOKAN
Nov 15, 2010|
Admin
Taikyoku Sandan is the third kata in the Taikyoku series. It follows exactly the same floor pattern as the previous Taikyoku kata. However, it is slightly more complicated than those kata since it requires the performance of several back stances and inside blocks in addition to the front stance, downward blocks, and lunge punches. Practice of this kata is extremely rare in most clubs.
