Kata Gekisai Dai Ni

“Attack and Destroy #2” or “Defend and Destroy #2”

This kata was also developed by O-Sensei Chojun Miyagi.  Both Gekisai Dai Ichi and Gekisai Dai Ni were developed after WWII.  The understanding that has been passed down is that these were meant to keep the young men interested, as they would otherwise have only Kata Sanchin to work for years.  These kata also have a strong connection to Goju Kihon (Basics), and are generally categorized as Kihon Kata (Basic Forms).
