You are again demonstrating that you don't know what the term "waza" means in MJER. What a karate-ka might call a kata is not called a kata in MJER, it's a waza. For example, in Shito-ryu there is a kata called "Naihanchi Shodan" and in MJER there is a waza called "Juntō Sono Ichi."
This thread is about MJER/MSR. What rank do you hold in either of these arts?
