Albany Shito-Ryu Kata Syllabus

In Shito-Ryu, the kata are divided into two major lines for simplicity: Itosu-kei and Higaonna-kei. Below are the kata practiced in the Albany Shito-Ryu Dojo. The majority of these are versions were taught to us by Kenzo, Mabuni.

Note that some of these names may differ from the official kata list of the Shito-Ryu International Karate-Do Kai. The official list of those kata can be found on the Kata page of the Shito-Ryu International Karate Do Kai website. The kata listed below are just the kata practiced in the Albany Shito-Ryu dojo.

Note that some kata have sublistings (e.g., Shodan, Nidan) in parentheses.
