Gekisai Ichi and Gekisai Ni (Attack/Smash 1, 2)      

The Gekisai Kata was developed around 1940 by Master Miyagi as instructional Kata. The bases for the Gekisai Kata were to help beginner students.

As you can see both sides of the body gets to practice each set of techniques, starting off with beginner techniques and ending up with the most difficult of moves. The Gekisai Kata introduces the student more complex moves with an easier form of execution. Students must grasp the concepts of the Gekisai Kata if they want to be able to understand the more advanced Kaishu Kata.
