Its better to practice kata slow because that way you can perfect your stances your moves and strike you can make it pop by putting more power but slow or you can do slow but on the trike you do it hard and fast

1st of all all mcdojo are the one who is concern with the Money and not the student and the sifu sensie or master don't teach them proper basic or the master doesn't even know what his doing 2nd they let the student pass their test with in a week or a couple of weeks without knowing the basic that will cost money caused you have to pay another money for the test 3rd they make you advance even if your a beginner that will caused you money to caused you have to pay for your belt your new GI and stuff and even if your 10 your a black belt and in the black belt club swat team etc even if your sloppy at your form technique they will steal pass you 4th you change contract every year like pay 200 every year just to pay for black belt club In my dojo it takes 3 months to pass each belt until you get to green belt then it takes 6 month to pass it
