TEKKI SHO-DAN

 The first Kata in tekki series with horse stance(kiba dachi stance) all through. Entails 29  counts with a straight line embusen. Also known as Iron Horse first Level.

Involves all body movement characterised by strong hip rotation especially where we perform the footwave with morote tzuki.

Another important trademark of the the Tekki kata is the haiwan-nagashi-uke/tate-uraken combo (in all tekki series) not excluding kagi-zuki, morote-zuki, and the unique ashi-namigaeshi (footwave technique) a very effective technique that only occurs in this Kata. 

The key movements (kihons) ;


  • Kiba-dachi (horse stance)
  • Heisoku-dachi (attention stance)
  • Ni-yoko-chudan tzuki (double middle level side punch)
  • Nami-gaeshi (returning wave kick)
  • Haishu-uke (back hand block)
  • Mawashi-empi (elbow strike)
