One Kata, Many Paths: Seisan , Seishan and Hangetsu Across Karate Styles

Seisan—known as Hangetsu in Shotokan—is a kata practiced across multiple karate styles, each interpreting its techniques, breathing, and body mechanics in unique ways. It was brought to my attention that I've misnamed the Zentokukai Karate as Zembukai which is a different organisation. My apologies This deep dive compares Seisan as taught in Goju-Ryu, Uechi-Ryu, and Shotokan, exploring how each tradition preserves, adapts, and evolves the form. From rooted stances to explosive energy and internal focus, discover the rich variations in kata interpretation that reflect the philosophy and priorities of each style. A must-read for practitioners interested in the shared DNA and stylistic diversity within traditional karate.
