Kata: Rohai
Kata: Rohai
This kata is called 'The Mirror of the Soul' or 'White Heron'. It was called Meikyo by Funakoshi Sensei, and its origins are from Tomari-Te.
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.
