The Taikyoku series is a series of kata in use in several types of karate. 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 ''Pinan''/''Heian'' series. The ''embusen'', or pattern of the kata's 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 ''Pinan''/''Heian'' kata. Gōjū Kai developed five of its own ''Taikyoku'' kata, based on the Shotokan katas and retaining the I-shaped embusen. The embusen (pathway) of all the Taikyoku kata is simple (here, the # represents the starting and ending point): *--! | | | | !--# On each turn, a block is executed, followed by a step and a strike. Up and back the middle, there are three punches. == Shotokan == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taikyoku」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
