I’m mostly asking because of this guy on social media, 360 Alan. He runs a pretty cool looking Krav Maga facility.

Something he keeps posting about are things like “elbow set number one” or “inside defense number one.” They seem to drill it in line formation, then practice on each other or on pads. This, to me, is kata. But a far more modern and striking focused version.

Does anyone have something like this in your own curriculum? Thoughts?

I would consider things like this to be kata, because they are partnered drills converted into solo drills. Personally, I extract sequences from kata to develop drills, so I wouldn't necessarily consider my drills to be kata. Sort of a "all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares" situation, if that makes sense?
