Re: 31-count Kata....HELP???
Don't forget that "kata" training in old school Japanese koryu arts were, for the most part, not a solo exercise but one done with precision in timing, intent, and movements with a partner. The thought that kata practice is done solo came about, I believe, with karate (which also still has paired kata practices, most often in the form of ippon/nihon/sanbon kumite).
