This is a great application of the Internet. Jesse Enkamp offers his advice on people's Kata moves via YouTube. 20 years ago this idea would have been unimaginable. Then it was still VHS heavy the basis of learning let alone DVDs coming on the scene. We had 56K modems still in the UK.
Now I see this and hope there is great interactive scope for learning via benevolent people like Jesse.
The advice he gives is good to watch. I like the way he forms his thinking. It is like my teacher. He watches and you can see 'thoughts' going on and then language forming nearly and then a judgement.
The thing with Kata is you cannot do it perfectly ever I bet. (Am I right here?). I sense that the effort needed to self-monitor and remember the shapes / perform the shapes with the 101 things-to-do is the attraction and forces you to return to this for life. The perpetual high maintenance to get you in the zone and keep you humble is the point I bet.
