I love all aspects of karate, but I picked kata, because there's a lot of cool stuff hidden within kata that helps with basics and sparring.

 

It was a tough choice to make, though!!

I picked kumite. I didn't start karate to learn how to perform kata, I like them and they have a purpose but kata are a means to an end. Kumite.

I'll say katas its relaxing slow.

A karate punch it is like a dasvasted stick blow. Instead, a blow of Kung Was is comparable to a lash with a chain that has attacked, allaltra extremity one ball of ferro

I picked Kata mainly because of the significance it has on my training. The sad thing is I am not particularly reknown for my Kata skills. :-?

lol, I wish someone had told my sensei that last night....

 

In the leson last night we did Gojushiho Sho and Meikyo all evening (there was just brown & black belts there) and by the end of the lesson I felt in need of a lung transplant I was gasping for breath that much.

 

Gojushiho Sho and Meikyo done after one another at full speed and power really works up a sweat!!

Kata because it encompasses all aspects of martial arts, it has kihon waza, kumite waza and everthing in between

Sparring all the way!

kata all the way!

 

in my opinion kihon and kumite are just extracted from the kata so kata itself wins hands down in my book.
