Kata is challenging for many reasons, but perhaps the biggest is that there is little or no possibilities of for freedom of execution. When looking for a kumite performer, so he or she has far more freedom in its execution than what a Kata athlete has. -when we look at the form of competition. But as a Karateka you have to master all aspects, which brings balance and development.We are going to take a look at Kata…but in different kind of settings… with Shihan Midori, Shihan Fitkin, Sensei Marius Ilas, Sensei Christina Peterson, Sensei Anca Wallmen, Sensei Norichika Tsukamoto and more..
