Talk:Bassai dai

I corrected left and right for kokutsu-dachi. Hidari (eng. left) kokutsu-dachi is where the weight of the body is on the left foot and the right foot is pointing forward. See e.g. Nakayama "Best Karate #5" picture at left bottom of page 26; or the JKA publication "KARATE-DO KATA, Volume 1". --Avdn 15:10, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, the list on that website is pretty much the same except it counts the opening bow as moves so if there are no furthur objections i'll remove the tag. СПУТНИК ССС  Р 18:43, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The ISKF/JKF breakdown of moves follows that of the diagram that is linked to this page.
I suggest the following breakdown of moves for consistency.
