When you compete with kata, what are your emotions like? Are you relaxed/stable? Do you put yourself into a state of anger to augment your techniques? Do you envision yourself being attacked by someone? Do you envision yourself attacking someone that you want to hurt? Is there any emotional ritual that you do to "psych yourself up" before you do that kata? Where exactly is your mind during the kata?
The emotional/spiritual side of martial arts is something I'm interested in and want to dig deeper into, so as to give me an advantage in my own training.
