Kata isn't meant for the ring/cage #karate #kata #shotokan #martialarts #training #kumite #dojo

Kata is the grammar of karate. Kihon is vocabulary. Kumite is the spoken word. One is nothing without the other.

Just started about a month ago in Karate to fight cancer. I love doing katas as it allows me to meditate and focus on the technique. That is soothing for me.

Osu!

Traditional Okinawan Karate was meant to kill and cripple your opponent with both empty hands and weapons.

According to me kata is the base of the karate 👍

Thank you for showing the true beauty of Karate. Many people just think Kata are just a dance and useless but actually it's quite important for self defense.

I wasnt into kata when i started karate but when I was taught these show you options if you wind up in a position. We would work scenarios and figure out possible attack and defend options. Did the same drills for boxing and grappling as well. Really helped my mind and body to work together so perform better.

Building an effective response instead of a panicked reaction.

You're right. Self defense and fighting aren't the same thing. Fighting is any physical conflict. Self defense is a legal definition. A jury decides after a fight whether one of the parties involved in the fight meets the definition of self defense.

Kata is for practice. Application of each move in Kata depends on the fight situation.

I just wanted to stop real quick and mention you are my favorite karateka online. Your physics skill matches the knowledge. 🔥

[Hensomisme]

Agree, as a practitioner of silat i can asure you that silat jurus/katas is for self defense, not for fighting.

The basic concept of this is like learning the alphabet. The easiest way to memorize the alphabet is to sing it. You dont sing while talking in real life. I totally agree with the caption. Kata helps your body remember and it's good for practicing speed and strength!! I do karate as well

I trained Judo near a Karate Dojo, i saw them training Kata, and i saw them sparring as well, they really are legit fighters, some of them are even National Athletes

This guy is for me the world championship

Traditional martial arts is beautiful and always to be respected

[david.g.]

All the graceful moves are just to look pretty in the form, when you study the applications it's different

Watched a few of your shorts and you remind me of the legendary hermit every protagonist begs to teach them how to fight. Wish I could have discovered you earlier in life.

[orionhernandez]

Crazy that you have to point this out but it's much needed

[BrocEnRollarts]

If i see another comment saying "let me see you use that in a street fight, " I'mma dye my hair green

[prithvisinghchauhan]

Kyokushin karate be like :- nah I just want to kill someone with bare hands
