During some downtime at work today, I was surfing another forum, and the discussion of kata came up, although the main thrust of the thread was talking about grappling. People were asking whether or not the grappling applications that could be found in kata, would suffice against someone trying to grapple you, or if you'd be better suited training in a grappling art, ie: Judo, BJJ, etc.
So, those that do kata in your art, do you feel that its enough or do you look towards a grappling based art? If you feel that you dont need to look any further than your main art, have you had success in the real world, with the grappling aspects?
