Maybe it is because of the intention whether the kata is like a dance or not! If you practice the kata as a competition, it certainly is. A journey into the depths of the meaning of kata is like a lifelong journey and it can never be measured in points.
Kata trained for competition only works for competition. Kata trained for the streets only work for the streets. Kata trained for conditioning will only work for conditioning. Your kata should be like water, and be able to be adjusted to all situations. Either for points, or for blood.
As we do here in our dojo,we train kata for actual fight situations.Kata is important to learn the movements but if you dont split up all the moves and actually understand the meaning of them ,then you do nothing.You have to train every move with another opponent so that it becomes more fluent and do it without thinking. This is called ''Bunkai''
If you don't spend as much time practicing the practical applications of your kata then it is pretty much a dance. After all dancing increases your strength, balance, focus and agility also.
Kata is an instruction manual. If it looks like a punch, it's probably not. Reaction is too slow so there are no blocks. Kata is showing you how to control your opponent.
Good grief ...kata is an aid memoir. The reason it's important is that it stores all the techniques in karate . Without which you would be standing there doing nothing.
its undeniable that sports karate has made a mishmash of kata interpretation.. what is kata ? in the sports context.. just look at all the plastic bo used in those world tournaments ??? its sport kata just like the thread vid... where does it end for traditional kata to be the foremost in the mind of the practitioner.
Its true
Kata is very important in karate isn t only dance!
Very beautiful who you do it... Wish you the best.

I know this one, she is tough.
I agree but, respectfully, that is a very poor way of proving your point.
Thank's for the video. Yes, "Kata" is really nice, but for real fighting skills just join an MMA club. :)
Doing kata is getting it right not performing nicer.
