Shotokan Kata
Bassai Dai ( To Storm A Fortress)

This shotokan kata is a very strong karate kata. This kata is an essential part of the shotokan karateka’s early physical conditioning and development.

In many shotokan karate associations, Bassai dai is the first intermediate kata to be taught. Basai dai usually comes after the 5 Heian kata and Tekki Shodan have been practiced thoroughly and a certain level of expertise has been reached. Normally, brown belt (3rd Kyu) level, is the first time Basai dai is practiced thoroughly.
