Kata is the living encyclopedia of Karate. There are many degrees of understanding that come from study, practise and contemplation.

The kata listed are first taught and then the principles of containment and combat are applied according to the level of the student. Each kata emphasizes a different strategy and set of techniques. However ultimately all kata contain the same essence so it is not necessary to have to learn as many kata as possible, best to master a few.
