Thanks for the nice words:) It's hard to tell how long I've been practicing this kata. I've been doing it at competitions for 1 year or so, but of course I knew the moves way before. Just did not feel myself ready for going into the depths of it. Also, when I practice a kata, I don't just repeat it for countless times. My sensei comes up with such kihon moves that require the same kind of moving like you would do in some part of the kata, just a bit harder, a bit more tricky, so you will feel the kata easier after a nice session of kihon. Yea, it's very hard to end in the same place in both Sho and Dai. There are a few tricks you can use during the kata though, but at competitions I'm just too nervous to be able to focus on them:)
