How to relearn something you've been doing wrong

[Nidan Melbourne]

You need to practice the kata with the correct sequence more than 100 times in a row without a mistake in it. Otherwise you have to start again.

I think I've actually got to the point where I do it correctly more often than not now. Only took 10 months..

All it takes is time.

Wow Shotokan katas, those were the days in the late 70s. Getting that GI to snap with a Kiai!

My advice is to make your kata mistakes as most do. Then understand what your technique are supposed to be doing and not just doing the moves.

Usually katas and forms have been designed so as to remember self defence techniques.

Learn and practice with a partner the kata and the applications. Every move has a purpose, have your partner to attack you as you do the form.

If you are going to learn the katas correctly you will also have to know the applications correctly also.

Good luck and have fun doing it!
