Here's the question.
How much do you really know about your kata?
Many people simply practice the pattern of performance, but is this really "knowing" the kata. If I write my ABCs out a hundred times a day do I know the alphabet?
Do you know how to transition without wasted movement between different non adjacent parts of the kata?
Do you know how to use a single movement continuously?
Can you practice the kata with one hand?
Do you know the point at which the structural integrity of a movement breaks down?
Do you know how to use a movement wrong?
Can you use kata movement spontaneously and creatively during partner practice?
Have you absorbed kata to the point that you don't even think kata, you only think move?
