Karate is a fraud that the Okinawans passed onto to the Japanese who tried to make the phoney block,walk, kick, punch and cross your feet b.s. workable. It simply does not work the way it is taught or presented in the katas. Karate is a joke. The katas are all turned around and everything is done to obfuscate the true movements. So what was it Karate is practical, it is not just a question of gathering knowledge. In other words, one becomes proficient through hard, regular practice, not just by reading about it or watching a YouTube video. As an example, there are those with limited knowledge (walking in the darkness), who believe that kata are fundamentally useless and see them as These will be in two phases. Phase 1 will be preparation for more intense plyometric and jump exercises along with “slower” strength exercises. Phase 2 will be more specific to karate with more intense plyometrics and jumps and “faster” strength exercises. Strength training will occur two days a week to allow for adequate karate training. Katas are just the "vessels" of information, so to speak, as Iain Abernethy once said. They're like the ink and paper of books, but the important part is understanding the message they contain. Today there are some new katas specifically designed for sports kumite, like the Enshin/World Oyama Karate katas. In my humble opinion; kicking, punching, striking or blocking – whether done in a triple, quadruple or single fashion – are no more kata than a knife, fork and spoon constitute dinner. I believe most kata techniques are simply aids, or tools, for understanding and imparting the principles that justify and govern a kata’s very existence. all Kata are important as we know, for the Pinan / Heian Kata's being important is that they are pretty basic and form a good concrete foundation for ones Karate. However, a single Kata can do this and take a lifetime of study, also as we know a single Kata is a complete fighting system in its self. aMx0g.
