Master Masao Kawasoe Kihon Kata or Taikyoku Shodan. Taikyoku Shodan is the most basic Shotokan kata. The name Taikyoku (太極) refers to the Chinese philosophical concept of Taiji. The Taikyoku kata were developed by Yoshitaka Funakoshi and introduced by Gichin Funakoshi as a way to simplify the principles of the already simplified Heian series. The embusen, or pattern of the katas movements, are the same as in Heian shodan. Students of karate systems that use the Taikyoku kata series are often introduced to them first, as a preparation for the Heian kata. The embusen (pathway) of Taikyoku Shodan is like a capital I.
