karnier

Hey guys, just found this forum out of the blue. I've been doing karate for a couple of years now and only about last year or so I've been getting into the sport aspect of it and I do much better at kata than kumite. Are there any people here who do it as a sport in AAU or NKF? I'm really looking into improving my kata, I got 3rd in NKF national team trials this year and really want to make it to panamericans next year, any advice? I do Shito-ryu
