By Efthimios Karatmisos 7.Dan German National Coach DKV
Kata is the basic and also oldest exercise form in Karate. Not even a hundred years have past, since Funakoshi Sensei began to spread Karate-Do in Japan and in the whole world.
Over centuries Karate techniques were practiced secretly. The old masters developed sequence of motion used in Karate combinations, which simulated a fight, but required at the same time absolute perfection and upright attitude of mind the Kata.
In 1948 at the Waseda University, under the direction of Funakoshi Sensei, a meeting of Karate students of the Universities of Waseda, Keio and Takushoku took place. A goal was to find a
common basis and interpretation of the different Kata.
In order to be able to implement a Kata correctly, you must realize its meaning.
– Exact knowledge of the expiration of a Kata and unconditional concentration.
– Accurate execution of the individual successive techniques, as well as correct body attitude.
– Kime means tension, speed and correct breathing techniques exactly at the demanded and correct time.
– The Kata should not be implemented calmly and over-hasty. Correct change of tension and relaxation, timing and rhythm.
