We do it all the time at our dojo, but im the only one (apart from my instructor) thats any higher than 4th Kyu, so its usually only the first few katas.

I went to a competition in Melbourne about a year ago. Entered in the Traditional Forms, performed my Kushanku Kata and got walloped by some freestyler making techniques up on the spot. I might sound like a sore loser lol. But i agree that Traditional Forms should be kept to the Traditional Forms division. Alot of competitions i go to lately have a Creative Forms division, or something of the sort.

Good idea about the sparring, thanks.

Hey all. Just had one of those really slow, uneventful, all round low-morale sort of lessons. The one where everybdies dead on their feet from school, work, kids etc. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on drills or exercises one could use to liven it all up a bit. Many thanks.
