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.
