Today there are many misunderstandings about Kata. In many martial arts, including traditional karate, people ask what they are. Many instructors do not know the answer, and therefore appear to be insignificant for use.
The result of this ignorance is very shallow martial arts. Competitions in Tae Kwon Do, to allow practitioners to create their own kata. Trying to create more compelling by adding Kata gymnastic movements, kicking and jumping in various equipment, and perform it to music. Another expression of ignorance is a kick boxing, which put together all the kata, practicing karate techniques from the outside and tries to apply them immediately in sparring with a partner.
These are sad examples of dropping knowledge that have been collected for generations to formal Kata.
Kata is the heart of karate and anything we know, we know from Kata
Why is it so important Kata?
Kata is a symbol of the principle
Old Masters Kata created as a result of experience of actual fighting, grouped into the conclusive formal principles of Kata and we need to unravel during exercise. Certain ideas can not be understood verbal explanations, as well as express it differently, so people understand their own mind, for everyone else.
It is beneficial to use science to explain the dynamics of certain techniques, but it is not enough, the human being is a machine even if you can imitate the technique, it will be only the outer form, but we need to get her feeling.
Principles in Kata teaches us to go over proper technique and application directly to the
Examples of principles are "feelings, actions, reactions, techniques, and establish all together", which mean that we do not analyze and respond with its own technology, but to respond through feelings, directly through the nervous system in the spine and over rehearsed actions, the reaction becomes self actions of the body and transmits to the technology. Kata gives us the physical tools and the ability to tune into the mind state of alert and vigilance.
Kata means freedom of movement
Even though we may seem limited Kata, its goal is freedom and we can achieve, because we teach management of energy in different directions with the highest performance and the performance will eventually be transferred to the line moving in a range (start from large to small) by Zavisice need applications. Becomes kata "in the form of any form."
Kata offers us ideal conditions for learning techniques until neodnaučíme bad habits
With strong influences such as the adversary we are too busy and excited that the technique is correctly performed and our bad habits will increase.
Kata is the physical development
In the kata we practice a large range of motion, synchronized with the breath and the body is always moving as a unit on the ground. Kata keep the body flexible, strong, relaxed and develop in a harmonious way, it can be practiced karate until old age. Master Funakoshi Kata practiced in nearly 90 years!
Also, a balanced workout both sides to balance development, which helps in preventing injuries, although in applications naturally prefer one side to another. A lot of athletes practicing only one side (tennis, golf, etc.).
Kata as a comprehensive training for all
If you practice Jiu Kumite (free fighting) and kumite competition for many of us tend to two or three techniques that are our favorites (the flow of Waza), but Kata practice teaches us many appropriate techniques for self-defense circumstances and it is when we practice Jiu Kumite.
Another aspect of this point is that karate is limited to popular technology and it can not contribute to the development of traditional karate. It can then teach students according to their own natural inclinations, because his own are limited and misunderstood.
Kata training as a mental control
Kata can be understood as a unique physical performance, it's mental performance and that is Kata basis. The right spirit must be introduced in the right following the principle of maximum efficiency. You need to be in the right mental state to exercise effective, attention can be focused only on the mechanics of Kata, but the harmonious cooperation of mind and body.
As we develop the basic reflexes, we must develop the mental qualities to accompany these reflexes as his spirit of each technique, as Zan-Chin, which is the basic vigilance or concentrated mind, through which we can control the enemy and respond to him.
Kata helps us pass over the mechanical response to different circumstances, we can reach the level of "unintentional" reaction, in which we do not know what ever will be until you do not.
Despite the Kata we can transfer the technology, so that karate becomes "art without art" and that the level of mastery.
