Some forms are to program the idea of powerful blows, others, the idea of agility and quickness. How well you execute the Kata, determines how well you can do what its supposed to be training you for. A sloppy execution "agility" Kata isn't going to help much now is it?
@stardingo747 the way people proform their katas does reflect how they proform their bunkai's...in a town close from where i live they good at sparring...their katas, baiscs, and applications lack badly...cause they dont know how to move their bodies still
Bunkai or pretty Kata's. Which is important? So many Karate Students and Instructors demand ever so high standerds from Kata's, but if you ask them to explain what they mean they mostly don't have a clue. Where does the Sport End and the Martial Art begin?
The martial art begins, in your question, where bunkai is introduced. Karate-do, as originally practiced, was the knowledge of bunkai and the performance of the same in kata. The best maintnance of that tradition, in my opinion, is in the arts of Okinawa today. In America, sadly, most karate is a joke and ranges from diluted traditional to the absolute fabricated, false and fraudulent.
@Weston1968 your right.... with higher standards of forms also higher standards of understanding is nessicary even efficenty * dont know if i spelled it right lol*...still there is alot in every kata for application
@unsumaster everyone has a different version.. in shotokan if ya go by the master text it should take ya one full minute to do the very first basic kata even up to black belt

This is a great form from a Shito Ryu perspective. Horriable from a Ryuei Ryu perspective. His turns are all wrong, and this timing is horriable.
