Kata are considered to be the living 'densho' of Karate. From Okinawan 'Toudi' through it's transplantation to mainland Japan, all styles of Karate maintained their own style-specific Kata. Kata is more than a mnemonic training devise for muscle memory. The student can become immersed in the kata and live the experiences of being attacked by multiple attackers, even with weapons. They can go full out in their defense, holding nothing back as they would have to do in a competition format. For disciple of Karate, there is no substitute for Kata or makiwara training.
Some styles, like Sakiyama Sensei's Shoreiji Ryu Toudi Jutsu, have five levels of applications for each Kata, taught at different levels of understanding. The first level includes tai sabaki (body movement) as well as receiving techniques, off balancing and counter punching, The next level includes throws and sweeps and skeletal manipulation. the third level included multiple attackers with weapons, The forth level included multiple simultaneous attackers with weapons and include the use of Kyusho Mato. The fifth level teaches to heal the attacker after disabling them. There are 128 recorded classical Okinawan karate Kata even though most schools use a very small amount.
There are a couple different types of kumite.
One is a series of 'known' moves practiced with a partner. This allows someone to develop timing and distance in the techniques.
The other is what is known is sparring or free style fighting.
The number of kata that are taught varies from style to style. My style has 18 kata you have to learn before black-belt testing. There are several others that can be learned after one becomes a black belt.
the number of katas vary depending on which karate school you go to my school has 27 karate katas that you have to learn before you go to a black belt grading. there are a further 49 that you have to learn before you continue after black belt. some of them are made up by a number of instructors that belong to the same school and they make the kata specially for there school. there are also other kata that are known and used worldwide.
The kata that are done vary by style of karate. My style has 19 kata that are done on a regular basis, 18 have to be known for Shodan.
