Shukokai Karate – Katas

List of Shukokai Karate Katas 

Here is a list of the major Shukokai Karate katas. Each kata has demonstration videos and/or written instructions. However, given that Shukokai has broken into a number of different organizations since the death of Sensei Kimura in 1995, kata requirements and individual kata elements may vary by school and/or association.

For the katas of other Karate styles (i.e. Shotokan katas), please visit the main Katas & Forms section.
