We practise kata at my dojo perhaps 30% of the class 75% of the time. Maybe thats because I also practise iai and have had exposure to koryu??? Dont know. All I know is that when my guys go to grade they arent running about like spring-chickens worried about their kata

In all my prior long-term dojo (NYC+London) kata was very much a shinsa-thing ... that saying, the dojo leaders in those instances were kendo-only people.... surely this has something to do with it ????

Thats my 2-euro's worth.
