After all these years I still believe one should be strong in the basic kicks,punches,blocks,locks and throws.No flashy stuff like jump kicks,kata,aikido throws(seagal).
If you think katas are flashy stuff then you need to study harder. Katas are basic training for all levels. They are supposed to integrate everything you have learned to that point and teach you balance, breathing, etc. Anotherwords, the basics.
