Dear Ebudoka,
On Gmattson's forum, a poster apprised me of the similarity of my Performance Diagnostic Trinity in Flow-Fighting: Mental Toughness for Martial Arts and Combat Sports (http://www.RMAX.tv/flowfight.html) and the 3 K's of Shotokan's "Red Triangle:" Kata, Kihon and Kumite.

Practice refering to skill development.
Training refering to physical attribute development.
Competition referring to toughness development as a result of confronting uncooperative, fully-resistant opponent(s) in the crucible of force-on-force scenarios.
A poster stated this held similarity to Kata (Rehearsal), Kihon (Conditioning), and Kumite (Fighting).
Could anyone please add their opinion as to the accuracy of these comments?
Secondly, if accurate, could anyone please provide resources as to the originator of this "Red Triangle" in Shotokan (or any other sources)? I frequently provide peak performance training seminars and workshops for martial artists from various styles. To be able to wed my Performance Diagnostic Trinity to concepts already incumbent within their styles would aid me greatly.
Thank you in advance.
