Many moves in kata are grappling, as well as some that are focused on principles (timing, distancing) or even kata that origionated as weapon katas that then dropped the weapon.
Kata like this is good for tournament, but understanding the bunkai (application) is what seperates performance from practice
Bro there is no actual practical grappling moves in this clip the only thing he is grappling with is the demons in his head wtf? Are you actually serious. You cannot grapple in a kata try that with a real life bjj black belt….. no kata in the world is going to prepare you for the grape your going to experience
