Also Power and mind set.....
Kata is personal once you understand it.
And I don't mean being able to do it without a mistake.
If you see person do Kata and they do the whole kata without mistake well you say, hey they know that kata. Then you see a person do a "kata" that is done by doing it from within, no mind no thought, just exacution of the moves to the fullest, you see a different kata, thats when your eye glaze over, and you push your jaw back up and mumble wow!!!
You feel the power, every punch, kick, & block from across the room. The kiai causes you to bleed do to the spirit and power it holds.
That is a kata...
No post on the moves or verbal explaination can assist you in any way to learn kata or karate for that matter as experiancing it first hand.
Though personal explainations from your instructor insire you to drive yourself harder to improve!!!
