Kicking “kata”

(not really a kata)

Start, Kami

1. Right-leg mi-geri and step into han-zen-kutzo-dachi.
2. Left leg mi-geri and step into han-zen-kutzo-dachi.
3. Front leg across, turn
4. Left leg mi-geri and step into han-zen-kutzo-dachi.
5. Right-leg mi-geri and step into han-zen-kutzo-dachi.
6. Front leg across, step into kami

Repeat with side kick (ok, I cannot remember the japanese for side-kick).

For both mawashi-geri and shiro-mawashi-geri, use the following pattern:

1. Right-leg mawashi-geri and step into han-zen-kutzo-dachi
2. Right-leg (front leg) mawashi-geri and step into han-zen-kutzo-dachi
3. Front leg across, turn
4. Left-leg mawashi-geri and step into han-zen-kutzo-dachi
5. Left-leg (front leg) mawashi-geri and step into han-zen-kutzo-dachi
6. Front leg across, step into kami

For back-kick (ok, cannot remember the Japanese word this this either)

In Kami:

1. Back-kick behind you with right leg
2. Return foot to Kami position
3. Back-kick behind you with left leg

And either pinan-ni-dan or a simpler kata

And that’s it!
