Today,I introduce to you Kata.Kata is the basis of kendo.
There are 10 nihon kendo kata,Japanese kendo forms. These are performed with wooden swords,bokuto, the kata include fundamental techniques of attacking and counter-attacking, and have useful practical application in general kendo. Occasionally, real swords or swords with a blunt edge, called kata-yo or habiki, may be used for a display of kata.
Kata 1–7 are performed with both partners using a daitō or tachi,long sword,style bokutoh of around 102 cm. Kata 8–10 are performed with one partner using a daitō and the other using a kodachi or shoto,short sword, style bokutoh of around 55cm. During kata practice, the participants take the roles of either uchidachi,teacher,or shidachi,student. The uchidachi makes the first move or attack in each kata. As this is a teaching role, the uchidachi is always the 'losing' side, thus allowing the shidachi or student to learn and gain confidence.
