Benefits of Kata Practice

Benefits of Kata Practice I was recently reading a forum where the question was whether Kata had a place in mode karate. As you can imagine, there were opinions for and against. Most of the opinions in favor only on the exteal benefits of the disaster, and those against the tendency to rigidity and lack of practical application of Kata. While I disagree with most positive comments, including some of had a negative point, but also some significant advantages in the practice of careful Kata.In addition to the power and technology, the experience is one of most important factors in a physical confrontation. It is difficult to get experience in the fight against the road, while maintaining the ethics of karate. This is a disaster in which it can fill a vital gap.As I was taught in Introduction to psychology, the mental visualization can be a severe physical reaction. This is why often excessive conces both physical stress caused by fear of a disaster such as with one. Developers Kata discovered how to use this phenomenon to their advantage. Kata Practice and tricking their minds into believing that they were in a real battle and allows them to reach their students to gain valuable experience of applying the right to form and attention to the mental burden of a real fight physical risks. No other type of training can this.While other forms of training are useful and important elements to ensure a system of training all-round, but missed some of the aspects covered by Kata training. Kumite is great exercise, improves the mind and gives us the opportunity to see people throwing blows and kicks to us. However, in the Kumite, the first thing out of the window shape. This is obviously due to the nature of Kumite. Kumite two individuals trained, well prepared, with artificial rules and in an artificial environment. I? Ve seen and was in some dispute over the years, not one of them resembled Kumite match.Self-defense drills and some of the advantages of Kata. With the attack in front of a group, these exercises allow us to extend the application of good form in front of a real attacker. However, with two people for safety is always a conce. Often the attacker is not a real attack for fear of violating the defender, and even if they do, the defender must be retued to the defense or run the risk of attackers not to mention friends. While all of this training is important and have their place, only a disaster, you can try? Kill? o? maim? Your opponent who tries? kill? o? maim? They, with the right form.Lastly, it is said that the practice of Kata and its secrets closely. I believe that one of the mysteries is how our Qi or Ki. For the above reasons, it is rare in other types of training that is the intention of setting up your opponent. Since the Ki of the mind follows, it will stop only if it is not the intention behind the strike. Kata, you can add that the intent. Because the person you are hitting in Kata is in the lead, you can totally see the connection with the strike and your opponent. Visualization is the key to extend Ki. Therefore, Kata is a very useful tool to lea, expand your Ki during astonishing. Practice meditation or Qigong Kata practice before you can effect.Of course, talk is useless, unless you? Re ready to give it a try. If you? Re seriously get all the benefits of kata training, the next time you? Re Kata training, try this exercise. Go through the form of a couple of times to make sure that you? Again, with the form and Bunkai. The Bunkai, or if you have won? T may be by the attacks. Continue? Psych? Sure. Please enter a hazardous environment, surrounded by your most feared opponent. Si? Re threatens your family, girlfriend, or whatever your heart. If you really feel their presence? Re ready to make your Kata. Walking through the disaster, forget the form, if you? Ve practiced enough word, it should be natural. Instead of focusing on what attackers are doing and respond. If you move a show, forget the fact that the attacker with whatever technology is appropriate and the next. In this state of mind, feeling you? Again, there is no anger or fear, but a feeling of necessity of animal origin. With the beast I need the same kind of feeling, is a predator on their prey. A leopard doesn? T kill a gazelle, or hates them because they feared that the leopard kills, because he is to survive. If you? Re done, you should feel as if you? Ve been through a real battle. It is said that if the practice of the masters of disaster, it was not uncommon for a development, if they had locked their bruising opponents.Karate has a large number of kata. There are also different interpretations Bunkai for each technique in the kata. This means that there are virtually an infinite number of combat scenarios, you can practice. In the end, Kata is an imagination of life and death struggle against several opponents, and with enough intensity, and viewing, you think won? T know the difference. Thus, the disaster has a place in mode karate? I maintain that the disaster is the soul of karate. Without the word, karate is not training at all, and you can not share the ability of the commander intended.My name is Bart Scoville. The trains in Shuri-Ryu Karate-Do.
