Bassai Dai is a kata practiced in Shotokan karate and is one of many variations of the Passai kata. It is characterised by repeated changing of the blocking arms to represent the feeling of shifting from a disadvantageous position to an advantageous one. The ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the characters of its participants.
