Kata 1 Section 3

The “cup and saucer” is used several times throughout the form and is representative of a trap of your opponents attack.  They are done a bit more slowly as an artistic representation.

Kata 1 Section 2

Kata 1 is the first form in our system that introduces an angled defense rather than everything going to 90 degree directions.  Be sure to show power in your “X” blocks both upward and downward.  Good luck!

Kata 1 Section 1

Kata is a Japanese word meaning “form”.  Forms are a representation of a defense against multiple attackers.  You’ll notice a different salutation from our Pinans.
