Kata: Passai
Kata: Passai
This kata is called 'Storming the Fortress', and this is evident from the power and strength that is demonstrated in the kata. Its name was changed to Bassai Dai by Gichin Funakoshi. Its origins are from pre-1869 Kosaku Matsumora, Tomari-te style.
Note: Because of its overwhelming use in Wado techniques, if only one hand is mentioned, the other hand is performing a back hikite. Also, unless otherwise mentioned, all jun-tsukis are at the chudan (solar plexus) level.
