Tekki ( Horse Riding )

 

Tekki Shodan   This kata consists of twenty nine movements and, in common with the other Tekki katas, is performed in a straight line pattern. The majority of stances in this, and the other Tekki katas are Kiba Dachi ( horse riding stance ) hence the name. Movements used include back knuckle strikes, elbow strikes and low level blocks.
