This afternoon we are scheduled to present culture of chinese martial

arts and taiji at St.

KATA and Qi







We had a friend ask if I could help them address a particular question.

They are testing for a belt in Karate and was told that her Qi was low

in the Kata.. could I help..?








I have No kata experiences, however I know movements, martial arts and a

bit about the concept of Qi. So I said, ‘of course’ :)









We quickly identified a few area's




Self Questions




Confidence




Footwork and Stance Questions




Focus - Where are the 3 tips




Exponetially compounded cause they are a perfectionist.




I told the practitioner they could flip it, not worry about the kata,

but doing it with complete confidence and passion. The result would be :

"Qi was awesome, Form totally wrong."
