Tekki Shodan, also known as Naihanchi, is a very old kata. This
kata is particularly useful for developing self-defense against
attackers at a close range. The DVD Tekki Shodan presents the first
kata in this very important series of three katas. The Japan Karate
Association requires students to perform the kata Tekki Shodan when
testing for the rank of brown belt (3rd kyu).
Tekki Shodan is a
highly detailed, in-depth DVD presenting the kata with many different
views, closeups, and angles. Each technique is broken down and shown in
detail with explanations of the correct way to perform each action.
Common mistakes are demonstrated along with instructions on how to avoid
them. The kata is demonstrated slowly, with speed and using split
screen from the front and side simultaniously. The kata applications
are demonstrated slowly with explanations and with speed. Both the
traditional kata applications and practical self-defense applications
are demonstrated. (60 minutes)
