Bassai Dai is a major kata for any shotokan student. Mastering this kata signifies that the student has progressed to a level beyond the beginner and is ready to move into the deeper realms of advanced karate. There is an interesting article in the most recent edition of the shotokan way online magazine. The article looks at the meaning of the name and the history of this kata. Worth a read for anyone who is interested in understanding this kata in more detail.
