Cracking the KATA Code 3: 10 Tips of Analyzing Kata
Test your interpretive talents. Shihan Annesi suggests 10 simple guidelines that can help martial artists get the most from their kata study. He uses an unusual kata, Aragaki Unsu (Cloud Hand), to demonstrate the ideas previously taught. Both students and Shihan Annesi contribute to the possible interpretation of the material covered, exemplifying an approach both very traditional and simultaneously ground-breaking.
