Kata and Fighting Applications

Gene, I agree with your philosophy of karate. I know we all have different reasons for training. I always refer to karate as combat first and foremost. This was the reason for its creation in Okinawa yes? It later became an art form which I love as such. They practised out of necessity and not so much for the art. Could you imagine not wanting to do the supplementary exercises because it was not done that way in China? Or someone calling Myagi a Mc dojo because he changed the forms? Hmmmmmm.
