Want Advice on Improving My Uechi-Ryu Kata Performance

[faelannm]

Hey everyone,

I have been practicing Uechi-Ryu for a while now but I feel like my kata performance is missing something. I am comfortable with the movements, but sometimes I feel such as I am just going through the motions rather than truly expressing the essence of the kata. I see higher-level practitioners who have this strong, almost effortless power & precision. I want to know what I can do to get to that level.

Are there any drills or mental approaches that helped you refine your kata? Do you focus more on breathing, tension or a particular mindset? Also, any advice on making transitions smoother while maintaining power?

Also i have check https://www.uechi-ryu.com/forums/viewtopic.phpcybersecurity-interview-ques this I want to hear about your experiences and any training methods that worked for you.

Thank you......

Good, smooth acceleration in strikes are important, as well as no pauses. The entire kata should be a continuous motion from start to finish. I can't tell what makes the best form because everyone's body is different; each pose may work great in some body type, but not in other. Age can be a factor. I'm not the best expert in this, which was why I waiting so long to answer, hoping for an expert to respond.
