I agree when you all say that Kata is a VITAL part of training. Today maybe it is only used to score points in a competition. But as Big Al said, thier are Bunkai to the Kata. With much practice and a lot of repition these applications to the Kata will come as a reflex when needed. Kata trains your mind to know when attacks come you have so much that you can do.
