I gave myself 5 days to learn a completely new karate kata… from a style I’ve NEVER trained before.

I practice Goju-Ryu, but this time I challenged myself with a kata from Shito-Ryu. No prior experience, no shortcuts — just 5 days to learn, train, and perform it in competition.

During the process, I also had to deal with back pain from work (turns out I’m not 20 anymore 😅), which made the challenge even harder.

In this video, you’ll see:
- How I approached learning a new kata from scratch
- My daily training progress
- The struggles, mistakes, and adjustments
- And finally… my performance in competition

Was 5 days enough?
