Kata, in the opinion of many great karate kata was and still is a basic exercise. Represents
an idealized imaginary combat with multiple opponents, where you know
in advance the line of movement, the order of certain blocks and
punches, their pace and power performance, the manner of breathing ...
Karate consists of a multitude of individual techniques. Each of them is taught separately and can be done in different ways. Full value reaching only interconnected in some way determined by the order in separate parts - sequences. There are endless possibilities of their combination but the kata is done in meaningful model.
Kata is a Japanese word whose meaning is the form, composition, form. The karate is very rarely used translation of "formal exercise" or "compulsory composition" when trying to Serbian language to translate foreign word, or when you want to make a parallel with other sports. Anyway content translation does not include the whole idea is so common that the word floors used as an international technical term. This method of exercise is not specific only for karate, but it is also found in other martial arts. Aikido, Iaido, iodo, judo, jujutsu, kenjutsu, kendo, iaido and some use the same name as the karate - kata. Martial arts that are not originally Japanese for this kind of exercise have different names in Hapkido in it Hyong, in kung fu in Tao Lu, Taekvondo in poomsae etc.
Kata after many times of repetition and time of exercise represents the unity and evolves as a single technique. To kata kata was really, one must be fully aware of the meaning of each movement that his body out. Unlike the fight, where in direct confrontation prove who is better, the floor exercise are we with ourselves. Therefore we are not only in an imaginary battle with an opponent, but in a real fight with yourself. So the result is not just an exercise in technical progress and the physical sense, but in the mental
"Karate or sente nashi" - "In karate there is no first attack." Proverb says clearly that karate defensive skills. The best proof is in the kata whose roots reach deep into the past. In fact, all the starting block. This clearly shows that aggression is turned off and that karate is designed as a response to it. Here it should be noted that the blocks in kata not only serve to "prime" shot, but in combination with the forward movement of an element of the attack confirming karate rule: "The defense let the attack, the attack is a defense."
Original kate occurred at a time when it is meant to defend avoided death because the fighting ended with a severe or fatal consequences. Real struggle had only one rule: survive. Since Kate represent defense against multiple attackers include the most effective techniques that are performed knees, elbows, fingers ... and target them vital points on čovečijem body. Troubled times have enabled verification techniques in a real fight so that they contain only other most useful in self-defense.
The name of each kata has a specific meaning that is not translated. It is a professional, international dates. In the past they were a way of conveying authentic, original techniques and martial experience certain schools. If we imagine a time in which the level of literacy was very low, and the ability to transfer knowledge in comparison with the present day negligible realize that they have a priceless value in transferring acquired knowledge generation. Their value is not only reflected in the movements, but also philosophical messages that the creator has prepared for the generations that come after him. Dismissal is a message other than that required hard physical labor through a long period of time and the mobilization of the entire mental energy. In China during the development of karate was considered to have taken nine years to learn from each floor. Three years for the views, three years hits and three years for operations. In okinavljanskom period was required three years to overcome one floor. Their training was the dominant way of practicing karate. From the perspective of today, which is characterized by TV, computers, intrnet, developed traffic, fast rhythm of life ... this kind of exercise is incomprehensible and unacceptable. But if we try to imagine the then time will realize that people are not rushing anywhere, and they have the time to devote to it. Exercising are difficult and hard which led to perfect techniques and spiritual maturity.
In seeking the origins of origin karate kata some theorists go back to prehistoric times. Those in the religious rituals that are performed in the original community are similarities with storied. Medicine man or those who have performed the ritual, they moved an equal number of steps on one side, and on the other, as forward and back and back to the point from which they left. Most of the most respected authority emergence of the karate kata and tied for the Indian monk Bodhidharma who lived in the sixth century BC. He is credited with creating the first kata in which the performance of the individual was aware of its value and meaning of each movement. He also had a full awareness and full knowledge of all aspects and impacts of its implementation. This floor is still practiced more large world styles of performing in several similar version called Sanchin. The original way of performing this kata was open with his fists and with a different way of breathing. It is believed that the Bodidharma Sanchin kata movements created the model of the physical exercises that are practiced in Yoga - wise, and that breathing is taken from Tibetan monks. Mudras are simple movements that are performed by the model lines or possibly circle. They are characterized by monotony in performance and emphasized mental orientation. Further development of the floors is linked with the development of martial arts in the territory of China, which took place in the direction of imitation ways to fight certain animals like snakes, tiger, praying mantis, monkey, etc.. This is inevitably reflected in the kata whose movements mimic the movements of certain animals in combat. Graduating art on Okinawa itself skills, and with it, kate, experiencing transformation and takes the form, which later emerged karate that we know today.
On Okinawa are vežbane two groups of floors that are substantially differ. They are encouraged from Nahe imitated the Chinese. Imitated animal movements in combat and defense are based more on avoiding attacks fast, soft movements. In kate from Shuria teachers from Okinawa have entered a new powerful elements. Their performance is aimed at direct defense or as a direct attack prevention opponent's attack. Such an idea conceived struggle dictated a strong position whose feet rest on their foreheads, a lowered center of gravity. Both groups were treated floors are just low foot shock.By the early 19th century, the content and method of performing kata was immutable. Generation in backward movements performed are identical and no one could think of anything to change. Represented a kind of repository of knowledge that is kept inside most of the techniques and combat experience at this school. Existed a large number of levels with sizeable variations with minor or major variations depending on the source of learning sites, schools and the like. For a small number of them knew who they were created because as in the case of folk literature became generally accepted by their creator, despite expert analysis can not be determined with certainty.
The creation of modern karate in the first half of the twentieth century will inevitably be reflected in kata. Great teachers and school leaders, based on their acquired experience, understanding of kata and karate, introducing changes in shape during movement, rhythm, interpretation of the same ... Ancient Chinese and okinavljanske kate are contained historical and philosophical messages that required several years of persistent systematic exercise for their understanding. Not at them was not easy to learn. Vised where they are thrown out all the elements that did not correspond to a modified concept of exercise. All are simple, šablonizovane and geometrical. The techniques are applicable to them combat sense and corresponds to the idea of modern karate. Their simplification makes them easier to learn and understand. Since a large number of floors made selection of those that are distinct and that complement each other. Among them is the classification made by the level of difficulty of elements they contain. Established the criteria by which each floor separately determined that the level of knowledge needed to make it well performed. In addition to changes in the content comes to changing the name of some floors. Chinese names are replaced with Japanese terms to maximize Japanisation skills. Creating new styles leads to the creation of new floors. They emphasize the diversity of techniques and different approaches struggle compared to other styles. They get names that are often related to Japanese history. Less known and less quality teachers and still changing kate in accordance with the capabilities of their performance and individual style characteristics. That creates its own systems floors resulting from ignorance and misunderstanding of the essence. Such kate and such teachers should be avoided. Despite the effects of modern life to karate, which assumed all of the elements of sport and as part of it follows all of the innovations in the approach and methodology of training and today there are a small number of teachers who practice the archaic kate with esoteric elements that transcend the limits of physical exercise.
According to the origin and date of origin kate are divided into ancient Chinese, and Japanese okinavljanske. Although created under the influence of the floor the first two groups, the Japanese have brought new elements of performance. According to the characteristics of the performance share on kate strength, speed and breathing. At first he emphasized that power is manifested through slow movements. The other is characterized by speed of execution while the third concentrates on breathing techniques. Third goal is to activate and control the chi. They have to be an experienced teacher to teach otherwise become a set of movements that do not have a positive effect on the exercisers. It should be noted that there is an opinion that this division is not good and that there are no pure types of floors. It is based on the fact that in kata meet all three characteristics that are intertwined in varying intensities. Depending on where they intended kate are divided into student and master. Pupils are based on the performance of the basic - basic techniques and an introduction to the complex kate. Their practices are never interrupted in the attempt to reach the perfection of execution.Name of the same kata in different styles of karate can be different. Also floors with the same name in different styles is performed in a different way. Kate that are taught in the schools of the same style can be done with minor changes. The same movements in kata can be interpreted in different ways. It happens that the same teacher same floor after many years of teaching at the altered manner.
