Yeah- you're right. No kata is gonna save your ass in a fight. But if you think that's what karate is all about you missed the boat. I think for a dimwit like you, nothing would work.

I train karate hmm like 8 years now.. Im a fighter .. But there is no karate without kata's if you don't like it go train kickboks or something ;) (sorry for bad english)

Kata is one of many training tools that karate people use. It has many uses that non karate people would not begin to comprehend. There is no point trying to convince the uneducated about the value of something. They have to experience it first.

Attention all idiots! I doubt Karate men on Okinawa had memberships to Golds Gym. So kata was modified to provide exercise, muscle strengthening, and as a teaching tool! Sports like boxing & mauy thai have only a few techniques. Martial arts like karate has hundreds of techniques. It would be impractical for an instructor to try to teach individual techniques and all of the possible applications if there was no kata. Kata helps to keep it all organized so it can be taught.

I think the only people that are trolling here are the ones that are hating on Machidas sucess to prove Karate is an effective art. No just Shotokan, lets look at Kyokoshin, Shito Ryu, Wado Ryu and others. So everyone hating on Karate can go to hell. Karate works has been for more than a century now, and will continue to show good fighters AND GOOD CHARACTER BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT KARATE IS. BYE.

@BluePittbull666 keep trolling you idiot. people like you dont know their head from there ass. Its never about the style its the fighter. How hard you train and whats works for you in the ring. Stop trolling, your just making your BJJ look even worse you troll.

people that complain about Kata dont know about Karate. If you think you use it to fight in perfect sequence your wrong. Jesus people, grow some brains.
I haven't seen this version of Jion by Tanaka Sensei for several years and I have to say that it's refreshing to see movements that are actually completed (no clipping) and without that annoying time wasting with super long pauses that seems to be coming from Sport Karate in Europe.
