Kata Translated means Form. Kata is made up of imaginary combats against, in most cases, relatively slow moving, real or imaginary opponents. Kata is constructed of sequences of basic, intermediate, and advanced techniques, which are meant to be performed with technical accuracy. Kata is practiced as much for perfecting techniques as well as for appreciative experience derived from movements. All Kata must begin and end with a bow to the masters and his assistants.
