message: This article was adapted from a series of kata articles found in Shotokan; naturally it gives a lot of weight to Shotokan karate right now. - JustSomeKid 01:44, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: If it is not an obscure neologism then it would be easy to provide multiple reliable sources books, peer reviewed articles etc. I am waiting.  I am also waiting for use of the phrase in the context of this article. Andries 17:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I propose to use the alternative phrase Indian religions. The number of google scholar results for "Indian religions"+"Indian religion" is (45.600 + 84.200) while it is only (492+475) for "dharmic religions" +"dharmic religion" (492+475).

message: The table shows Suparinpei as being performed in Shotokan. Some Shotokan karate-ka practice Sanchin but it is not an official Shotokan kata to my knowledge. Suparinpei seems to be very similar to Sanchin or maybe even the same so maybe this is why someone got confused. 86.25.247.93 (talk) 16:09, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Dear editors, I am proposing a new WikiProject Karate to bring together editors with knowledge of this martial art specifically, especially due to Karate becoming an Olympic sport I think it is time to focus energy on the roughly 3500 main space articles associated with Karate. Full description of the rationale and goals can be found at the link above, please comment, discuss (and join if you support this project!) All the best, Mountaincirque 08:50, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

message: 108 in Chinese is 一百八, pronounced yībǎi bā. This sounds nowhere near "suparinpei". Can someone add an explanation? Alxx~rowiki (talk) 11:10, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it is actually how it is pronounced in the Fouzhou dialect, there is no 'Chinese' language of course, they have a few dialects, some major and some smaller. I'll check the wording.

thread_title:  "Suparinpei is the Chinese pronunciation of the number 108" - is it?! 

message: This article is a prime candidate for a re-work, there are a decent amount of references scattered across the tens of individual kata pages as well as academic books on the history of karate and kata. I think that a 'history of karate kata' / 'origin of kata' section can be greatly expanded upon firstly. 
Some references claim that Seisan is one of the oldest karate kata for example, demonstrated by Aragaki Seisho in Okinawa, based on kung fu he had learned in Guangzhou. The table of katas by style also needs a lot of work and referencing, as it is basically just compiled on opinions at the moment. I think that there is scope to delineate between 'traditional' and 'modern' kata, for example with kata such as the Pinan/Heian series and Fukyugata/Gekisai series that were invented in the 20th century compared to many other kata being 19th century kata.
Please propose any sections or references that would be useful as we make these updates? I will add them here gradually myself also. Mountaincirquetalk 12:05, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
