This is for the Philippine audience (myself included) rooting for Philippine competitors: refrain from either cheering/clapping until the kata is done. Just basic common courtesy. You can clap and/or cheer before the performer announces the name of the kata. You can clap and/or cheer after the kata being performed is fully done.
@@PhantomVIIP Bro, you don't have to be 8th Dan to see the over-the-top drama and poor execution. Speed, speed... the movements are not clear, the gaps are in other places. Just compare with the non-WKF performance.
@@zxz8952 Lol) Dude, WKF does weird long pauses in kata (which are made up), it ruins technique and rhythm. Making movements quickly, but not even getting into a stance and not completing the blow/block is terrible). Look at Japan and Okinawa.
@@zxz8952 I've been training for 8 years. Shotokan, 1st dan. I teach children) But I look at karate as a whole, and don’t limit myself to just Shotokan. I also practice Matayoshi Kobudo. Draw a line between sports performance of kata and non-sports performance. These have long become different things.
