Tekki Nidan

Tekki Nidan is the shortest Tekki kata, consisting of 24 movements. Similar to Tekki Shodan in many ways, this kata is also performed almost entirely in horse stance, with the exception of a few crossing steps and one heisoku-dachi.

The objective in this kata is to develop grabbing, throwing, and locking applications while maintaining a strong kiba-dachi.

To accomplish this, the student is introduced to many new techniques such as ryo-zenwan-suhei-kamae, zenwan-shomen-gedan-kensei, and oshi-uke. The use of tsukami-uke in this kata teaches how to draw an opponent in for counter-attack.
