Kempo Kata Long One
Others - Kempo Kata, showing right fist (assume we always start by looking North or forward)
Taisho - Long One
Others - Long One, covering right fist with left hand, turning it forward and down, bowing
This kata is much like short one but after each block there is a punch and then a second block. There are no pauses until the end. This kata was updated in 2007 primarily by the addition of the head turn after each pair of blocks.
1 step left into horsestance and arms in chamber
2 step backward with left foot into horsestance with inward block with the right hand, then punch with the left switching to a hard bow. Then back to horse stance with a second inward block with the right hand.
3 Repeat 2 with the right step back and left inward, right punch, left inward block
