Anan Ni (93 Moves) Kata of Ryuei Ryu. Possibly a more recent Kata. Anan Ni is largely similar to Anan but contains more techniques overall, especially a very beautiful execution of Mae Geri in four directions. Aragaki Niseishi (56 Moves) Definitely the root of Shito Ryu Niseishi, but much longer. Aragaki Seisan (57 Moves) It is not comparable to the Seisan of Goju Ryu (Naha-te), but it does have similarities to Seishan. Interestingly, the beginning of the Kata displays key elements of the Anan Kata. Aragaki Sochin (56 Moves) It contains significantly more combinations than the Shito Ryu version. Shotokan Sochin, on the other hand, is a completely different Kata. Aragaki Unsu (49 Moves) The Kata differs fundamentally from Unshu/Unsu. In the Shito-Ryu/Shotokan version, at best, traces of the Aragaki version can be found. Interestingly, the Kata contains elements from Aragaki Sochin and Aragaki Seisan. Aragaki Useishi (Gojushiho) (85 Moves) It's comparable to the Shito Ryu version. However, the stylistic elements of the "Drunken Master" have been removed in Shito Ryu. Genkaku (89 Moves) Black Crane Kata by Gogen Yamaguchi, whose mastery of presentation by Goshi Yamaguchi is hard to beat. Hakutsuru Dai (112 Moves) The Kata contains many Haito techniques but also elements reminiscent of Kushanku. Hakutsuru Sho (59 Moves) A special feature of the Kata is the frequent use of Hiraken, which is rather unusual for crane Kata. Chikaku (99 Moves) Crane on Earth Kata by Gogen Yamaguchi. This Kata incorporates elements of Tai Chi into the Yamaguchi family's Goju Ryu. Meikyo Nidan (47 Moves) The Kata is similar to an older version of the Matsumura Rohai described by Patrick McCarthy. Presumably a more recent Kata. Tetsuhiko Asai appears to have been the first to teach the Kata. Meikyo Sandan (40 Moves) Kata of unknown origin, containing many turns rather atypical for traditional Kata. Presumably a more recent Kata. Here, too, Tetsuhiko Asai is mentioned as the popularizer of the Kata. The question remains whether he developed nidan and sandan. Naifanchin Mabuni ha Shito Ryu It´s said that Yasutsune Itosu developed the versions Naifanchin Shodan, Naifanchin Nidan, and Naifanchin Sandan from an original Naifanchin. In Mabuni Kenei's Shito Ryu, it is primarily taught to uchi deshis. It's hard to believe, but in the Jackie Chan film "The Hand of Death" (1976), the beginning of a Chinese version of the Kata can be seen at timeline 57:25! Nepai (122 Moves) The Kata is considered the original Chinese form of Nipaipo. However, this does not mean that it is practiced in its original Chinese form on Okinawa. It is significantly longer than Nipaipo, more versatile, and also more clearly recognizable than the Crane Kata. Nijuhachiho (94 Moves) A Kata published by Hirokazu Kanazawa. When I asked if he created it, he said he simply adapted it to Shotokan. How much he changed it remained unclear. Since the Kata contains many elements from other Kata such as Nipaipo, Unsu, Shisochin, and Paiho, it's not easy to consider it a standalone Kata. Kanazawa said it originated in Okinawa, without citing any other sources. But do you really need to know that to like the Kata? Kenpaku (50 Moves) Superior Fist. Shito Ryu Kata. Primarily practiced in the Seito Shito Ryu of Kenzo Mabuni. Koryu Yellow Dragon Kata by Gogen Yamaguchi, completed by Goshi Yamaguchi. Ohan Rarely performed Ryuei Ryu Kata. Recently, versions of Ohan and Ohan Dai have been shown in Kata competitions. Papuren 1. Alternative name of the Kata Happoren 2. Name of a Kata that has been performed in WKF Kata competitions since around 2010. Its origin is currently unclear. However, in Tani-ha-Shito Ryu, a Papuren is practiced that could be the basis for the competition version. Rokkishu The Kata is primarily performed in Naifanchin Dachi and consists exclusively of blocking and grappling techniques. It is likely the Kata, possibly along with Hakufa, that inspired Chojun Miyagi to develop Tensho. Shinsei Ni (36 Moves) Pure Spirit, 2nd Kata of Shito Ryu. Developed by Kenei Mabuni. Tenryu (133 Moves) Dragon of the Sky Kata by Gogen Yamaguchi, completed by Goshi Yamaguchi. Tomari Jitte (36 Moves) An older version of the Jitte. The similarity to Shito-ryu Jitte is still clearly visible. However, the Tomari version is more versatile and elegant. Tomari Rohai (43 Moves) Visions of a Heron A very beautiful interpretation of Rohai. The Kata begins like Shisochin, followed by a combination of Kake Uke, Mae Geri, and Gyaku Zuki similar to Matsumora's Rohai. The rest of the Kata, like Hakkaku, is directed straight forward. Wanduwan (Wando) (54 Moves) Crown of the King The Kata could be viewed as a kind of summary of the principles of Shorei-ryu and Shorin-ryu. There is also a slight relationship to Rohai. The Kata presumably originates from Tomari-te.
