KATA
The meaning of the Kata Gekisai Dai Ni is ‘to Attack and Destroy - Two’ and has just two differences from Kata 1. The first change is the Uchi Uke (Inside Block) when facing backwards now becomes Kake Uke (Hooking Block), which we do twice forwards and once backwards. The second difference is that the final move is changed to Mawashi Uke (Circular Block).
