shorei_kai_student Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 hey guys last night was the first time i was able to perform my first kata all the way through and after performing it like 15+ i felt like i got a great workout. my legs are still sore and there wasnt any kicking involved. o plan on going throught it again today a few times. anybody else feel like they had a great workout after performing a kata?

jnpnshr411 Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Yeah! katas are a great work out im G A Y and i love you i W A N K over you EVERY DAY!!!
granmasterchen Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 if performed correctly katas can be a great way to work out! That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
Jay Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 i did enpi last night and im still tired from the training we did, we did it for 45 minutes and it was a great workout The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.
yamesu Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 For sure,I can make myself sweat from performing one kata, once.I think it has to do with the amount of effort you put into the kata in its entirety.Osu. "We did not inherit this earth from our parents. We are borrowing it from our children."
Shito-Ryu Girl Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 My Sensei always says that at the end of performing a kata you should always feel like you have had a really good work out. You don't alway need all these really long warm ups at the beginning of the class, get them doing kata..
karatekid1975 Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 My old instructor said that if you are not tired and/or sweating after doing your forms, you didn't do it right LOL. I still believe that to this day. Laurie F
derecho Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Yep, doing katas is a great workout - doing 'em right ought to tire you and get you sweaty.
Fairfax_Uechi Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 As others said, Kata can be a very intense workout. You get out of it what you put in. But I would say that while you're just learning the moves, don't worry so much about being "perfect" just get the moves down. Then, work to build power, speed, rythem and grace. Also, don't discount doing kata super slow. You can't see your mistakes when you go too fast.
