In strength training, we often isolate a muscle to work it harder. So too with karate, we can isolate certain aspects to work them harder and give them more focus. In this case, Cat Stance (Neko Ashi Dachi). Putting every cat stance together (from every kata where it features) to really work it. The best thing is that various kata challenge the stance in different ways. A few examples include: • whipping the hips into the stance (like Saifa). • working the hips forward and back (like Seiunchin).
