The Intangible Kata/Form

[sensei8]

For those styles that are proponents of kata/forms, this topic is for you.

Kata/Forms that are taught without any applications can only serve one mean, imho...Belt Promotions. If one is only executing void kata/forms without knowing and discovering what the movements within any said kata/forms is, imho, the intangible kata; empty without valuable purpose.

Why must be entertained. Knowing what each and every movement is and can be within any said Kata/Forms has a credible purpose/reason. To only move on the floor because it's needed for ones next belt promotion can't truly produce effective understanding of what's needed within the tangible universe.

I move not because it's cool or popular or the rage of the page, no, I move because it has effective purpose in both knowledge but as well as in effectiveness.

I long for the day when each of my movements are only tangible and effective each and every time, until then, I do all I can to shake away every intangible movement.

Your thoughts.

All my forms are tangible. Master Paquette actually explains everything in great detail now that I have to adjust every form I've learned from white to black to match his dojo.

His versions make way more sense
