Kata
Kata is
paramount to the practise of KDS Karate. It is essential in
order to develop the body condition required for longevity and
true progression with the KDS practise.
KDS katas are
performed slowly initially. This allows the body to learn how to
fully use the musculature in relaxed expansive and focused
movements. Once this condition has been acheived any kata speed
is possible for the karateka. In Master Harada's own words:
'Kata are very important, they strengthen the
body, condition the mind, train the spirit, enhance
co-ordination, improve the reflexes and allow contact with the
past. They are the essence of Karate-Do'
Mitsusuke Harada
