In my opinion, what we focus on is sort of like SCUBA diving. Some overall training is helpful, so that you can understand what the equipment is for and how to use it. It does decompose into parts. But it’s not a high-pressure sport, and skill comes from mainly going through the overall process and dealing with the random challenges that come up in individual circumstances. So you could teach it as “katas,” but that would be a relatively inefficient way to learn.
