"If someone practiced Naihanchi diligently but didn't really know the meaning and interpretation, could he or she still see improvement in techniques such as basic tsuki?"

Sensei, I wanted to ask if you think all kata are useful for training or if just some of them are. I’m aware you talk about Naihanchi in many videos but you also have a video with seisan, are there other kata that you think are useful as well?

Thank you for your comment, and sorry for late reply.
I practice three katas: Naihanchi, Tomari Seisan, and Pinan 2dan (Heian 1dan in Shotokan).
These three are useful in actual fights.
I don't find the other katas, such as Pinan kata except 2dan, Passai, Ku-san-ku, etc., to be very useful.
I'll tell it more correctly, if you can fulfill certain conditions, practicing those kata will be useful too. However, there are probably not more than 10 people in the world who can clear those conditions.
I myself cannot fulfill those conditions.
Therefore, for me, those katas are worthless. I never practice them.
The last video in the current "Analysis of Naihanchi" series will be a post on this subject.
But I expect to need to make four more videos before I get there.
If you are interested, please wait and be patient.
