Kuma Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Look into sectional training. You basically break down a kata into smaller, more manageable chunks and work repetitions of each of those. Google "kata sectional training" to learn more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Learn in short increments. Most kata include a few changes in direction. Do 1 section at a time. Practice the movements until the first time you turn around several time, until it's easy. Then practice up to the second change of direction. Do this until you can go through the whole kata.I agree. Do this. Learning forms in segments has always been the way I have done it, and it works better than anything, for me, anyways. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterPain Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I think Kuma was describing the same concept. My fists bleed death. -Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensei8 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 One viewing kata can draw many different point of views, both pros and cons of kata. I can see how someone would view kata as a strange "dance", and this is from just watching any kata from the surface.Digging deeper in kata, one can hopefully see the value of kata within its "applications"/Bunkai. One can be a proponent for or against kata for many reasons, but I think if one would give kata more than a chance, they might see things that they might've not imagined, yet effective. **Proof is on the floor!!!

Cayuga Karate Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You mentioned you are a Shito Ryu student. What specific kata are you expected to learn that you are having trouble with, and what branch of Shito Ryu do you do? (Shito-kai, Seito Shito Ryu, Shukokai, Hayashi-ha, Motobu-ha).I began my training in Shito Ryu 35 years ago, have taught for many, and may be able to offer some advice.

LittleW Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 If you have a problem with the katas, then you are probably wrong in Shito-ryu anyway. Its the karate style the has twice as much katas then any other has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaine Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 He shouldn't quit though. Clearly he likes it enough to find different ways to learn it. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
