I would think there are more Katas out there but this should give someone a better idea of what Shotokan is about and its styles.

i remember watching these a while back on the tube. the strikes are very similar to TKD based on the obvious influence it gave to TKD but TKD incorporated more kicking and the patterns are re-arranged.
cool video collection

Thank you to both of you. I thought it would be a good way to show off the art and they are arranged from the beginning to the more advanced katas. (if anyone couldn't tell)

Thanks! Trying to free up some more time so I can get back to posting more on this forum.

Very interesting. I like the collection. I do a similar system called Shu Do Kan. They both have similar roots and eventually, can be traced to the same place and person. Tekki Shodan, nidan, sandan in Shotokan is Naifanchi Shodan, nidan, sandan in Shu Do Kan. There are other differences in other kata as well, but man...It's pretty cool to see other systems renditions of the same kata.
