San Kata 1-8: Kneeling Techniques
San Kata 1-8: Variations using a Chair
These are variations on the original kneeling techniques of San Kata using a chair. This may be done for several reasons: handicap, bad knees, or just the idea that chairs are more relevant to modern society than walking around on one’s knees. For students choosing to do the chair variations, it is recommended to also review the original kneeling techniques to fully understand the principles involved.
