Kata Video Tutorial Number 12
Hangetsu is generally taught at the brown belt level in most shotokan karate organizations.
Master Gichin Funakoshi renamed Seisan to hangetsu when he took shotokan karate to mainland Japan. Hangetsu translates as half moon, there are several semi circular stepping actions performed throughout the kata.
Hangetsu is taught differently, by senior shotokan sensei, some sensei teach strong, loud breathing, with dynamic body tension performed throughout the whole of the kata. Other sensei move smoothly, with silent breathing, only tensing the muscle groups at the end of each move.
