Kata

Many of the techniques taught in Ryukyu Kempo can be dangerous if practiced on fellow students. The ancient Marial Arts masters created Katas to train students in the self-defense moves and techniques in a safe and effective manner. By practicing the moves with you body while you practice the self-defense techniques in your mind, you will become adept at using these techniques, at full power, when needed.
