Kata are the soul of karate. They combine both basic and advanced techniques, stances and body movements into a set of flowing compositions. All the Kata taught in Wado-Ryu have been handed down over the ages, often by simple demonstration, from teacher to student and father to son.

  

The teaching of kata in the present day maintains this tradition, although the advent of modern technology (video, the internet etc) has changed some of the media.
