Then came Kata or form practice, the stances, blocks, strikes and so on began to be combined in a series to be memorized and practiced over and over, again developing precision, speed and power. (For example, when I began Wu Shu we practiced in lines, beginners at the back trying to copy the people in front of you, gradually moving forward closer to the teacher, due partly to progress, but more often through attrition, people just quit!) A lot of these movements didn't quite make sense, but we did them anyway. At first many of these movements are only possible by studying the seniors.
All of these are practiced solo, usually with high numbers of repetition, and increasing speed and power as the movements become better understood.

Kihon is the practice of basics, how to stand, walk, turn, evade, enter, block, strike, take down, etc. I will describe them briefly for the sake of discussion, accepting the fact that there are deeper definitions possible which may arise later. This is most true in striking arts, both Japanese and Chinese, and, I believe in other Asian arts as well. In my experience with other MA, training tends to revolve around 3 distinct ingredients usually practiced separately. I would like to offer another perspective on this and hear your comments. This is usually explained on the basis of it being:Ĭ.) meant to be both spiritual and effective (martial?) One of the things that I have heard often is that learning Aikido is said by some people to be very difficult in comparison to other MA.
