Kata: Path to Mastery or Obstacle to Progress? An Honest Discussion with Andy Rodriguez.

Andy Rodriguez is a fantastic guy, super chill, and solid traditional Okinawan practitioner of Karate, he's well connected to Okinawa. We discuss our training methods and philosophy. We disagree on Karate's Holy Bible of Karate.....but, we met somewhere in the middle....Kata is a drill set, teaching you skills, as to how you use it...this ends up being very personal and context specific. Give it a listen and I hope you enjoy it! ⏰ TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 1:40 Seminar highlights and scenario training 6:47 What we do in our dojos 9:19 Andy's training background and Jodo 13:33 Kata training 16:58 Cross-training 20:08 Stress-testing and functional training 24:04 Justification in Karate 27:44 Combat sports and Karate 35:15 The problem with Karate 46:32 Andy's take on Kata 49:54 Differentiated Instruction in Karate 52:37 Letting go of style 54:27 Toyama Sensei - No styles in Karate 56:49 Kata is a way to teach _____________________________ 🌐MY L I N K S FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/karateunitycanda/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/karateunity/ YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/karateunity WEBSITE: https://www.karateunity.ca/ 🥋WANT TO TRAIN WITH ME? ✴️ To book seminars, private or small group training email me at karateunity@gmail.com 🌐ANDY RODRIGUEZ LINKS xroads5.tripod.com/delaware https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FPgdtWYA9/ ______________________________ #kata #karate #martialarts #mma
