Essenzial Aspects of the
kata
T.SUZUKI Sensei has recently introduced, based on his enormous experience, six
principles to be used for a correct execution of the Kata.
KATA NO ROKU GEN SOKU
I KI TA KATA: Kata must be alive and done with feeling and
purpose;
I NEN: Kata must be performed with spirit;
CHIKARA NO KYO JAKU: Kata should be done with changes in
application of power. Technique can be strong or yielding, hard then
soft;
WAZA NO KAN KYU: Kata should be done with variations in the
timing of movement, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
KI SOKO NO DON TO: Kata must be done with proper rhythm of
breathing, when to inhale and exhale.
BALANCE:
Proper balance must
be maintained in the performance of Kata.
