KATA Kata (art form) is an important part of karate training. Each Kata consists of a series of blocks and counter attacks designed to ward off an imaginary opponent. In order to become proficient at performing kata, students must focus their concentration, pay attention to details of the movement, and call upon their imagination to bring the movement to life. Beginner katas are made up of basic movements while advanced katas include more elaborate techniques. The ability to perform and understand the meaning of the katas assigned to each rank is an essential part of the requirements for promotion. |
