Mai throughout the practice of kata/Bunkai/ Makiwara Bunkai of Kata/
Makiwara.


It is most important to check the distance of one's imaginary opponent
throughout the kata.
Visualize the target closer than the final extension of the technique.
Get into the space of the opponent / target in order to deliver an effective strike/block.
Improper distance voids one's attack/block..too far- the technique does
not reach the target, too close- the technique is jammed. 

The makiwara will validate your
distance.

Research this well.

Arigato,
Kyoshi Robert Scaglione.
