"How many kata are enough?" Many martial arts instructors, including myself, constantly grapple with this question. In my dojo, I've been reassessing the number of kata we teach, aiming for quality and depth over quantity. To dive deeper into this topic, I reached out to a few seasoned martial artists for their perspectives—and was fortunate enough to have Dr. John Titchen join me on the podcast to explore this subject.
