KARATE Kata That Has Almost Been FORGOTTEN

Sure I’ll be # 151. Let’s see where this goes…

Kusanku is without any doubt one of those Kata that has the most different variations. The only rival I can think of is Passai. The original Chatanyara Kusanku (which is practised in Matsubayashi Ryu and is to some now known as Kuniyoshi Kusanku), modern Chatanyara Kusanku, Chibana Kusanku, Matsumura Kusanku, Kanku Dai, Kanku Sho, Shiho Kosokun... The list goes on. According to Roland Habersetzer there are 13 versions of Kusanku.

Love these videos! keep em coming!

It’s too bad that Uechi Ryu is not included…

Learned that Kata in the thumbnail (brown belt Kata movement Shotokan) when I was 14 years old - 1994.
Yes, I still practice martial arts.
Student and teacher.

Keep posting.

I judged many kata competitions, back in the '80s and '90s, but never got to see any of these. Too bad!

What about Channan?
