Kata is a Japanese word; (Hyung in Korean) for a pre-arranged sequence of movements in a structured format that functions to develop fighting skills, power, focus, and fluidity in the martial arts. At the Center for Humane Living we practice 15 different Katas, taught sequentially for each advancement of belt rank or color. Kata provides a format to practice the basics independently through diligent practice and repetition.
