.Hi, Regardless of style of the karate being practiced should the techniques included within the styles katas be taught/learnt as singular strikes/blocks/stances before learning the kata as a whole. Now that may seem a stupid question, right? Now im a student of GKR (stop groaning,ha) and im looking at what's involved with Saifa. As far as i know Sagi ashi datchi, kosa datchi, tettsui and dan tsuki are not even part of the syllibus? which seems a little strange to me. Presumably this is not the case in Goju (Goju kata, right?) thanks Jon
