Description:

Forms and kata… a functional, practical training tool in the martial arts or a big waste of time?

Join me and special guest, Sifu Randy Brown, for a lively discussion on the pros and cons of forms training. We’ve both gone through through phases of LOTS of kata and NO kata, so I think you’ll find this to be a very fair conversation.

If you can’t listen to the whole hour, here are three questions we agree (I think!) you should be asking if you train forms:

  1. What other training are you doing?
  2. What are you expecting?
  3. How are you practicing?

Let us know what YOU think!
