How Many Kata's Do You Know

My first 3 years in karate, I studied one kata.. Heian Shodan. I was a slow learner :-) Later, when the military took me to Japan and Okinawa, I immersed myself in the culture and visited many of the places karate legends were from. As I studied some of these ancient masters I was always fascinated by the fact that most only practiced a handful of techniques. Here were people who's lives often depended upon their fighting skills, and they saw wisdom in focusing on only a few things and getting really good at them.

What are YOUR thoughts on learning and practicing dozens of different kata?

The Value Of Martial Arts Tournaments

When I first started studying traditional Shotokan karate nearly 25 years ago, practice usually consisted of basic and kata. Rarely, we'd add in kumite (sparring). After many 4 hour workout, there was little doubt in my mind that I could kill with my kicks or punches.

When I later practiced other styles competitons were a regular part of the training. I grew to enjoy the friendly competitons but I always wondered what real value they had. My traditional karate training taught me that when I go up against a trained fighter (the only person likely to pick a fight with me), I would get one shot. One punch or one kick, and the fight would basically be over.

Your thoughts??
