Martial Arts and the Combat Side

The traditional view per se is that the kata or the pattern or the pre pre pre-described routine can influence the combat element of a sport. The emphasis on a kata is that this is the technique and you need to move in this exact way which inevitably fails people in the combat aspect. No kick is ever the same no punch is ever thesame no distance is ever theSame. That beautiful quote from raffin and alorie refers i've hit millions of shots and that one of them has ever been the exact same rings true for the combat side of martial arts.
