Hi Angel,
Oshiro sensei states that if you do kata this way in a tournament (using these combat principles) you would loose and be critisized that your kata is wobbly, that you do not have proper balance, and you look like someone that has little control.
I remember him telling me this too but forgot over the ravishes
of time. Thanks for the clarification. My Kobayashi teacher
is a pilot and explained it to me like this. Flying is all about
compensation. The air lifts and drops you at it's demand. You have to
constantly correct. If you stop, you drop.
Thanks again.
Peace
