The Katas

Here are links to some Shotokan katas.  The ones on the left are the katas required through brown belt.

The discusions in these links are not intended to teach the kata movements. The purpose of these links is to help the student understand what the kata is about and what it provides in the formation of a karateka.

Above:  Dojo cum summarizes the most important teaching in Japanese karate.  

I am sure that most other martial arts teach similar moral doctrines.  It is very important to teach 

respect, faitfulness, and character before teaching even how to throw a punch.

The last thing we want is a world full of violent people who are also able to hurt others.

Tor this reason, most senseis (karate masters) are happy to teach humility, self discipline, empathy, and respect for all people.

Karate is not a violent discipline as lay people often think.

Karate is the discipline of controling one's violence.

Anger, hate, fear, and arrogance are our worse enemies.  A good sensei teaches us to defeat them.
