Kampsport

[Luigi85]

Hvis man ser på kampsport filmer så er det mye mystikk rundt kata, pomsae, tul eller kanskje mønster med andre ord. Er det slik at disse alltid har en mening, altså mange slike mønster ser jo litt unyttig ut med tanke på sparring feks. Men kan noen fortelle meg litt om hva dette egentlig går ut på og hva man får ut av mønster? Driver selv med ITF tae kwon do uten å ha kommet så langt enda. Så lurer også litt på om ITF er veldig likt karate hvis noen vet noe om det? Om det feks er like mye fokus på handteknikker og selvforsvar/grappling/kast og slikt

For å belyse dette rundt poomsae/kata for de som er interessert i kampsport, siterer jeg Forrest E. Morgan:

 

Forms practice is probably the one feature of martial arts training most disliked by Americans. Let’s face it, it’s repetitive, it’s boring, and most students don’t see any point in it. “You can’t do a kata on someone who attacks you,” is a common expression in American training halls. These same students aspire to be great masters like Myagi or Funakoshi, but what they don’t realize is kata is what made the great masters great. In times past, kata was the core of martial training, particularly in the striking arts. Before the advent of controlled sparring and sport karate, forms training was how warriors learned to assemble the various blocks, strikes, and kicks that comprised their arts. Controlled sparring, as I’ve said before, is a definite improvement in modern martial arts training, but it will never replace proper training in kata. No, you can’t do a kata on someone who attacks you. But you can learn to execute classical combinations with the speed, power, and balance essential to effective combat by practicing forms. More importantly, proper forms training will condition and harden your body for combat and instill in you that steely discipline that separates the warrior from the brawler. But the operative word here is “proper.” Simply walking through a kata without applying power, focus, and the necessary attention to detail will not advance your efforts toward being an effective fighter. Forms, done the way most students do them, really are a boring waste of time. For forms training to be effective, it must include several essential elements. First, you must execute each technique as if your life depends on it.
