Definitely I will try this way & hopefully it helps. Thanks JR 137 for the advice

That's describes what I feel to a great extent, I would only add that it's very hard to remember  |
Break it down into manageable sections. Concentrate on the first 5 or 6 moves, practice only them until you've got it in your head, then move on to the next 5 or 6 and so on. Once you've got to the end, put it all together and practice the whole thing, after a while it will become second nature to move through the whole kata. I often take a particular part of a kata and practice it over and over until I find I'm better understanding it.
Practice once, practice twice, practice "Mo Ichido" - One more time!

Thanks mazzybear. I will try segmenting the kata & work on each segment by itself. I am happy to try anything to get this kata problem sorted out

I am still a very beginner & currently not training in dojo but should start back in January after the Christmas break.
Currently I am trying to remind myself with the katas I have learned before which are Taikyoku Sono Ichi & Taikyoku Sono Ni, I am trying to practice it at home.
My problem with not liking the kata started when I was training in the previous dojo though.
