I remember doing taekwondo forms for 9yrs. There's a certain feeling that overcomes you while you practice. It's not just about making a good movement, you feel it somehow.

[@timberhead2069]

I'm a novice taekwondo practicer back then and for me it is a best for mind conditioning. And I quit because I can't balance my studies.

[@keithziegler8881]

Some of the forms in karate are decades if not centuries old. They were designed to bring the mind the body and what the called spirit together. You feel it, as you said, because the bullets have been analyzed in practice and polished to the nth degree to deliver the maximum effect that they were designed for. You are MEANT to feel something when you do the forms correctly. You're meant to feel the power and the speed and the flow all coming together A well practiced and executed Kata is its own form of meditation

Katas are the best thing about Karate. Once just after I was doing a kata I experienced being totally one with the body and having no mind, just pure consciousness for about thirty minutes. It's hard to explain, but it was very real.

Even when she explains how the kata movements are done, there are absolutely no unnecessary movements. This young lady master is a Kata Greater Goddess.

Her body mechanics and stance work is beautiful!

Just... wow...

Familiarize yourself with her history, at what age she began training, and what her training routines are. You do that for twenty years or more and you'll be crisp and powerful as well. Remember Bruce Lee's admonition about being wary of the person who's done one kick ten thousand times? Well, extrapolate that to kata.

This is a special woman. Almost every comment in the videos is of her beauty, grace, and power. I love that women like her exist. She's a great role model. What strikes me the most about her is how she can turn the intensity off and on. The first video I've seen (the 2012) championship, she had the most stern look on her face. The next, she was bubbly and excited. I just love that amount of command and focus on this discipline. Because of her, I want to know more about Karate and these formations. I'm about her age, but I'm sure I can learn a lot going forward.
