Kata

In a karate class we practice Kihon (kee-hohn) – basic techniques, Kumite (koo-mee-teh) – sparring and Kata (kah-tah) – pre arranged forms consisting of techniques.

All katas are following a defined pattern of moves (kicks, blocks, punches etc.), an imaginary fight between the karateka and four to eight oponents.

On this page, you can find videos showing the katas that are practiced at color belt level.
