The Principles for Understanding Kata are Largely Unknown - Until
Now The ancient masters developed kata, or "formal exercises," as
fault-tolerant methods to preserve their unique, combat-proven
fighting systems. Unfortunately, they deployed a two-track system
of instruction where an 'outer circle' of students unknowingly
received modified forms with critical details or important
principles omitted. Only the select 'inner circle' that had gained
a master's trust and respect would be taught okuden waza, the
powerful hidden applications of kata. The theory of deciphering
kata applications (kaisai no genri) was once a great mystery
revealed only to trusted disciples of the ancient masters in order
to protect the secrets of their systems. Even today, while the
basic movements of kata are widely known, advanced practical
applications and sophisticated techniques frequently remain hidden
from the casual observer. The principles and rules for
understanding kata are largely unknown. This groundbreaking book
unveils these methods, not only teaching you how to analyze your
kata to understand what it is trying to tell you, but also helping
you to utilize your fighting techniques more effectivelyboth in
self-defense and in tournament applications. Fifteen general
principles to identify effective techniques: *Twelve discrete rules
for deciphering martial applications*Comprehensive insights into
kata history, strategy and tactics*Vital physiological
considerations*Well organized materials for easy reference
