Relationship between years training and performance time on the three Taikyoku kata for Shotokan karate black-belts.
27 experienced black-belt subjects were individually timed on each of the three Taikyoku kata and correlations calculated between performance time and years training. Correlations were nonsignificant, more clearly clarifying the reasons why performance time increases as years of training increases in more complex forms.
