Subject: Re: Forms (Kata) really necessary for combat? Author: Geo Hoover [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:40:23 10/19/02 Sat In reply to: Corey Minatani - WRCMA Central Washington Regional Director 's message, "Forms (Kata) really necessary for combat?" on 16:51:21 10/14/02 Mon Would this be a good definition of Form or Kata? "Kata or form is the sum of multiple techniques blended together in a structure sequence to train and study various combinations of said techniques, whether traditional Kata or a created form to teach a specific set of techniques."

[> Subject: Re: Forms (Kata) really necessary for combat? Author: Corey Minatani [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:59:24 10/19/02 Sat Hmmm.... This is an interesting topic, defining what a "form or kata" is..... To be fair, since everyone who contributed has a different, yet subtley different context, the definition would/should include elements of all. And even then, the definition may still be only tentative at best.... But Geo, this is a good idea you've got. And I believe should should take a cursory stab at it.... let's go!
