Do’s and Don’t

The do’s and don’ts of good kata practice include the following:

Do:

Practice often (daily would be best).
Use the Practice Calendar as a guide to managing kata practice while learning new katas.
Keep your practice sessions short, approximately 15 to 30 minutes.

Don’t:

Copy and paste the commands. As tempting as this may be, we’ll want to develop the “muscle memory” of executing the commands by hand, as we would in a real-world situation.
Write scripts to automate the commands (for the same reason we shouldn’t copy and paste).
