The term Kata can be translated as form, model, example and indicates in the Japanese martial arts a series of codified movements that represent the fighting techniques in order to highlight the founding principles and the optimal execution opportunities (space, time and speed).
The
Japanese government at the beginning of 1900 to transfer the Samurai spirit to the modern age commissioned 5 among the most valid Sensei of Kenjustu to encode Kata (sword techniques)
Takano Sasaburo - Ono Ha Itto Ryu
Monna Tadashi - Hokushi Itto Ryu
Naito Takaharu - Hokushin Itto Ryu
Tsuji Shinpei - Shingyoto Ryu
Negishi Shingoro - Shindo Munen Ryu
The Kendo no Kata are 10
7 of tachi against tachi (long sword against long sword)
3 of tachi against kodachi (long sword against short sword)
They synthesized the best techniques of kenjutsu, which represent the strong link that exists with kendo. Even if kendo is notpracticed for the purpose of killing , still keeps in mind the respect for the katana, through sword techniques he seeks the Way to improve personally through discipline and sports combat; through this, in fact, a relationship is generated between two individuals whose practice is the oppositional and at the same time collaborative confrontation (it is said in fact that we must thank our opponent when he strikes us, because he makes us notice a defect of ours to work on and improve); in this, kendo is therefore profoundly different from disciplines that do not include the combat phase.
