I LOVE how kata is beautiful yet powerful!!!

[@DGandPia]

Kata is our favorite division to compete. 💪

[@James-vp2jn]

Legal issues aside, I bet she could have taken the guy yelling at her apart. On one hand, I wish she did. On the other hand, I am glad she did not. There are many legal issues in using her combat skills against an attacker. I wish I were there to support her.

[@KC-fi2or]

Major legal ramifications like any other person who would have physically initiated a fight. The idea that any martial artist that has a black belt or is a master is a lethal weapon is a hollywood-generated myth.

[@costellofratelli9625]

I live in NYC, it's only a matter of time before someone irritates/assaults a Shaolin Monk here. They don't play.

[@barrettokarate]

I'm going to predict that gold and silver will be between Sanchez and Kiyou Shimizu. Who will win which medal...that's a tough one both are beasts. Hopefully Kokumai gets bronze, because she's basically the U.S. only hope of winning a medal, let alone actually earning a spot at the games.

[@DGandPia]

Oss

[@nipaipo36100]

at olympics the final will be between kyou and sandra. for me sandra is better but it will take place in japan...and we know the hometown judging.... the bronze medal will be between bottaro and lau. i would love to see dimitrova also.

[@barrettokarate]

@@nipaipo36100 Kokumai getting bronze is wishful thinking on my part as an American and a fan of hers. I know In the world rankings both Bottaro and Lau rank just above her in third and fourth place respectfully. But fifth in the world and qualifying for the games is still pretty good for someone who hasn't had a sensei/coach since 2015 and basically on her own.

[@nipaipo36100]

@@barrettokarate yep but bottaro an lau are far away better. no way sakura could win the bronze at olympics sorry

[@olivierrivest3862]

[@olivierrivest3862]

Sandra LEGENDA,SILA BRAVO

[@yk.budouka]

コクマイさんの型ってなんてやつ？

[@nipaipo36100]

the kata of sanchez deserved much more than 26 points. it was perfect

[@DGandPia]

she is amazing

[@disgruntledpedant2755]

When do they fight?????

[@olivierrivest3862]

at this level in WKF they have to specialize so you ll never see a kata competitor fighting, same as you ll never see a fighter doing kata

[@chloeconniecarlton]

BS....

[@nelsont4784]

No mejoda yo crei que era un vs osea un combate

[@DGandPia]

Eso sería ÉPICO. Pero ninguna de la 2 hace kumite

[@jibreelgroup]

Can someone tell me the kata names. I haven seen them before

[@DGandPia]

Sakura performed OhanDai Sandra did Papuren

[@jibreelgroup]

@@DGandPia thank you. I've seen papuren. Never seen ohandai.

[@nipaipo36100]

sandra was clearly superior. for me 7.8 and 7.8 for aka. 9.2 and 9.0 for ao

[@DGandPia]

nipaipo36100 Sandra is a beast. Both competitors were so good on stage.

[@marceloviera]

@@DGandPia yes ,I think the same .Sandra was Superior .Sakura hesitate on 2:22 and pay the price

あの男口先だけで助かったな 掴みかかっていたら返り討ちのフルボッコ👊

[@koarapengin893]

だれじゃ

[@2HAMMERS1]

am sorry, who is she fighting - I do not see her component????

[@kmdewhurst]

You just saw many components. You didn't see any opponents. The English language is hard.

[@2HAMMERS1]

@@kmdewhurst 我非常希望看到你與某人戰鬥 私はあなたが誰かと戦うのを見たいです I want to see you fight someone

[@javigarcia5095]

Como decimos en España... Esto es comparar a Dios con un gitano...

[@KevinRodriguez-vd7vf]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not again Sakura is best not Sandra

[@DGandPia]

It was so cool to see the compete in person

[@KevinRodriguez-vd7vf]

I am sorry she is good and amazing why Sandra Sánchez better than my friend Sakura kokumai

[@evansusmc]

Cool floor routines. Useless in actual fights though.

[@IRONMANWAGWAN]

Not entirely, kata still trains physical attributes like explosiveness, speed, agility, and flexibility while also providing mental exercise much like shadow boxing does. Of course it doesn't do the same as actual sparring but it is far from useless

[@evansusmc]

@@IRONMANWAGWAN everything you mentioned is “trained” at such a low level that it’s very much a waste of time when doing kata. And this stuff is not in the same league as shadow boxing.

[@IRONMANWAGWAN]

@@evansusmc You get as much out as you put in for both. And trust me, when you're drilling Kata for competition for hours straight, there's nothing low level about the level of training those attributes receive.

[@evansusmc]

@@IRONMANWAGWAN yeah except that everything real life and combat related would be better and more efficient to participate in than kata.

[@IRONMANWAGWAN]

@@evansusmc I mean sure is it inefficient? yeah, but inefficient is different from useless, and Kata is not meant to be the primary method of training "practical fighting" that's what kumite/sparring and bunkai are for. Kata is about knowing your body and training precise control over it and your mind, it's much more meditative. To draw the same comparison, someone who only does kata with no kumite is like someone who only shadow boxes with no sparring. The two are meant to synergize
