Hello, You may have to look at the defination of Kata's VS, practicing movements like "jab, jab,duck, cross" is NOT call a Kata! Yes they can be preset training movements
BUT IS NOT CALL a Kata? ....Muay Thai practice many preset movements in the rings BUT IS NOT CALLED A Kata?
One day you will see the difference and know the difference....practicing is NOT A KATA? .....
PLease tell me your meaning and difference between the two thoughts of practicing technques and KATA training? I know they are almost the same....there is a difference "hence" call two different things......
Many times when we are taughts certain things? ...we believe it to be true? ..Kata....will the future...show it truth to our training? or is there a better way?
Again...this is my feelings.....on this Aloha
Marching bands practicing formations....this is NOT CALL a KATAS?
I think theres still some confusion here. Did you read my posts at all?? As I said, while they're not called kata, I said that they (the boxing combos) are preset patterns just like a kata. A kata is a preset series of movements. Boxing combos, again, while they're not called kata, are preset movements. When I grapple, I work on a pinflow series. I transition from one position to the next. Ex: Guard, side mount, etc. Again, its not called a kata, but its a preset pattern of movements, just like a Karate kata.
Different name, similar meaning.
