Types of kata ?

Question

(Karate Shotokan)

I know there are learning types like:

ura

ushiro

bunkai

but there was one where you started from the end and worked your way backwards what was it called ?

Thx.

Answer 1

Hi there !

Ura means Spinning, Ushiro means rear/back and bunkai means dissection or to take apart (often mistakenly reffered to as "hidden Technique).

The above aren't names of kata, but componential  parts of kata waza (techniques). On your question I am assuming that the term you are looking for is "Embusen" which generally means - Point of Coincidence.  Which generally means returning back from where you started.

Hope this helps , let me know if I missed the question.
