Konichiwa,
I was practising kata recently with someone new and senior.
While getting into the Shidachi's role and through the whole set, I felt terrified at the metsuke and the whole form of the Uchidachi.
Suddenly, its no longer just normal practise. No longer just doing the Kata. I have the feeling that I have to get everything correct. One chance, one technique. No mistakes, you can get cut. I had to quickly calm my mind, check my breathing and get on with the kata.
A sense of vulnerability prevails.
Feeling was very good after that "training" though.
Anyone can explain if its normal to get such a feeling while pratising kata?
