Introduction

Chudan is the intermediate set of 12 Kata following Omote. From the moment you begin

to learn this series of kata, you will notice there is a more athletic and dynamic element.

For example, in Ichi Riki, when Shidachi crouches down to block Uchidachi, as soon as Uchidachi steps back to retreat, Shidachi literally jumps back into Hikiotoshi Kamae.
