Kata

Kata is the demonstration part of judo, where techniques have to be performed with precision and timing with a partner rather that against a competitive opponent.

There are also kata competitions, including the British Kata Championships which is held at Samurai.

Details of the different kata are on the BJA website and there are videos and links to videos on our videos page.

Here is a nice video of Matt and Stu doing Nage no Kata.
