MasterPain Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 More interesting? I'd say more useful. You'd know exactly what the movements mean and what they are intended to do. My fists bleed death. -Akuma
xo-karate Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I've been thinking about kata's and for me the first big question is:what do I want to drill with the set of moves?Often the formula is compination of 2 - 5 moves and both sides.One could drill the compination by it's own - just one set of 2 - 5 moves and drill it say 20 times. This is not the same as doing it once and coming back to it later. In sparring you have just one opporturnity to do your technique. It's the first time that counts.As a development of exercises:1) Basic technique - kihon kumite2) Compination of attacks - drill with out partner - with partner (Formal or sparring like). Here is ohyo kumite 3) Kata - formal or unformal. (Unformal for me would be shadow boxing).4) Sparring - rolling
Jissen Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 In my sometimes not so humble opinion....a majority of your applications of kata should be some sort of grappling. The striking part is basically out in the open for all to see..not necessarily understood, but seen nonetheless. Seek not to follow in the footsteps of the old masters, rather, seek what they sought

bushido_man96 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Katas themselves tend to not have much in the way of grappling, as far as being on the ground goes. More standing grappling/joint locking would be found there. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
