Without the Kata karate can not exist. It is through Kata that we learn to control our body, how we develop our reaction and increase our speed and fluid movement. In our system of Kata we have 15 Kata a student must learn before testing for black belt. Along with the Kata students must learn to kick, punch & block. Throughout the training students will work with other students in sparring and pre-set punch and counter drills.
