The Importance of Kata in Authentic Martial Arts:

Kata Kanji The role of kata training has been a critical element in training within classical schools and modern traditional schools of martial arts. The link below will provide the reader with an article outlining the importance of kata training to authentic martial arts. Although the article was written Sensei Rego for black belts of the FJJA dojo - it is our hope that the article can of some value to IKA members and other budo-ka who may read it.

The Kokondo arts of Jukido Jujitsu & Kokondo Karate focus exclusively on the role of martial arts techniques applied for self-defense. This article will highlight the link between kata and self-defense training hisotirically and why it remains an important element in today's self-defense oriented martial arts systems.
