Taikyoku Sono Ni
Taikyoku Sono Ni is the second Kyokushin kata that students at Aranami Dojo learn, and is required for a test for 10th kyu and subsequent levels. Almost exactly like the first Taikyoku kata, it is a 20-step kata that begins and ends in fudo-dachi, and all steps are in zenkutsu-dachi. A kiai is required on the 8th and 16th moves. The only difference between this and the first Taikyoku are that punches are jodan-tsuki, and not chudan-tsuki
