Cracking The Code – Making Sense of Traditional Karate Kata

Cracking The Code – Making Sense of Traditional Karate Kata

The application of traditional karate kata has been a point of contention ever since Bruce Lee compared kata training to “swimming on dry land.” Do they work? Do they not work? If they do work, how do these stylized movement translate into actual combat? This was a research project that I really sank my teeth into.

And the answer is “Yes, if you have a Master Key to unlock the code.”

That Master Key is Motion Application.

In a hyperlinked pdf file that grants access to over 200 separate video clips, I will give you the knowledge to unlock any kata. I use the five Heian/Pinan kata and Naihanchi Shodan to teach the concept of Motion Application.

After viewing this course, YOU will be able to crack the code of any kata by yourself!
