Kata is the reference source of karatedō and one of its most elegant and powerful expressions.
Kata is probably one of the most technically and physically demanding aspects of karate, whether on the dojo floor or in international competition.
This section contains both written commentary and videos. Together, the written commentary and videos illustrate the enbusen (the geometry, techniques, and step-by-step), instructions, bunkai (the application of the parts of the kata to self-defense and combat), and the history of each of the kata.
