The term "Hidden", as we teach Kata, doesn't, and shouldn't, mean that said techniques are for the higher Dan ranks, as I've heard forever and a day. As we teach Kata, the "hidden" terminology speaks about the effective applications through discovering them during Bunkai/Oyo. "Hidden" because ones not discovered said effective applications YET!!

Absolutely... :) Great response...

As for "told you so", like Bob mentioned, there's no need, no purpose. You have strength and courage of your convictions, of the methods that you believe in, make sense to you, and work for you. Much of what you say about modern training methods makes sense, but for a traditional guy like me, there's also room for kata because the way we train our kata also makes sense. IMHO, the best meld of modern/traditional is taking the proper wisdom of kata and putting it in modern pressure training drills/scenarios. If the traditional kata waza/bunkai/oyo have wisdom, they will stand the pressure. If not, they won't...
