Kata

形には一定の意味がある。空手の稽古ではまず,形に含まれる基本的な技の解釈を学ぶ。基本的な技を理解し習得した後に,形の中に含まれる動作を様々に解釈する。すると,形の動きから技が無限に広がる。また,動きのどこからどこまでを一連とするか,あるいは,形の中のある動作とある動作を組み合わせるとどうなるかを考えると,技はさらに自在に創造される。したがって,形の分解は理論上,無限と言って良い。形の妙味,空手稽古の味わいは,そこにある。

Each move in kata has a specific meaning. In the practice of karate, disciples learn the basic interpretation of moves in kata first. After understanding and acquiring the basic techniques in kata, they try to derive other various techniques from moves in kata. Then, it can be found that a move in kata generates unlimited techniques. Additionally, more techniques are created freely through considering which part of a series of moves in kata is pulled out, or what technique is made up by combining one move and another move in kata. Therefore, bunkai of kata is theoretically said to be infinite. Exquisiteness of kata, or relish of karate practice is in there.
