Kata is a form of ritualised self-training in which patterned or memorised movements are done in order to practice a form of combat manoeuvring. According to a highly regarded Kyokushin text, “The Budo Karate of Mas Oyama” by Cameron Quinn, long time interpreter to Oyama, the kata of Kyokushin are classified into Northern and Southern Kata.
