Kata is a Japanese word meaning "Cutting Ground." It is the name used for the patterns used to teach karate to students. It is a way of remembering moves, training the body and improving concentration and focus. Kata is the basis of karate.
Kata is a key component to learning karate. It builds muscle and muscle memory, making you more fit. It allows you to learn the basic moves. Once you learn the kata to the required level, you will be introduced to bunkai, the application of kata to real situations.
Toyota Kata has 306 pages.
I believe you are referring to a kata. A kata is a series of moves that are used to teach basic principles of the style.
It is going to vary depending on the style of karate and the count used in your school. GojuShiho by name has 54 moves, but you can count it in various ways.
It depends on the actual style of karate. There are many variations between the styles, so there is no one 'universal' first form , or kata. Some styles share the same forms, at different ranks. For example, one style's first form may be another one's second, and with slight variations.
There does not seem to be any Kata Hotels in the US. It is necessary to travel to Phuket, Thailand to stay at one of these beautiful hotels on the Kata beach.
{| |- | Dai is often used in kata names. It indicates 'second' as in the second version of a kata. Many of the kata names originated in China. It would not be suprising to have it as part of the name of a kung fu kata. |}
