we do it slow but there's no timing. It's just "put hand from there to there, slow".  |

There is no count when we do it. If we get a load of us in a line we will all be different. How slow depends on what I am doing.

Just to add to the ridiculousness:
My count of four or your count of four? I'm a bit slow you see...

You could try counting to 12 fast instead but I doubt the ancient okinawan masters would have approved. |

Or you could just put your hands up slowly and not worry about counting? Feel the kata rather than read it off a script? |

Once kata becomes prescriptive, 4 count five count, Transylvanian count, (Think Sesame Street, ha,ha,ha) then it becomes a series of moves that are performed, once you have learned the moves, then you can learn the kata, the emphasis is on a slow controlled move, and that is all, not too slow, not too fast, feel it, become it, live it, loose yourself in it, but forget trying to label each moves and certainly forget putting parameters around different techniques.
Mr Precision how long have you been training? I hope you don’t mind me asking?

feel it, become it, live it, Excellent post. I once went to a Seminar with the late, great Enoeda Sensei who made pretty much the same point. |

When I first learn a kata I do it slow and steady untill I get most of the move down and then I start concentrating on details and control. I keep working it untill I feel like I've reached some sort of perfection.
