In Shotokan Karate, kata is a series of pre-arranged movements that simulate combat scenarios against multiple opponents. Each kata is designed to develop technique, precision, and discipline while preserving traditional martial arts principles. Practising kata helps improve balance, coordination, and mental focus, making it a core component of Shotokan training.
