Shihan Solly Said's Description of Kata
"It is said that there can be no limit placed upon Kata training. Consumed by the Kata, our attention is drawn in so deeply that inner confusion then dissolves to where it no longer exists at all.
By regulating the flow of air within the body and synchronizing it with muscular expansion and contraction, the Kata becomes a powerful vehicle through which internal thought and external force or performance are harmonized.
Gradually an immunity to life's trivia and detachment from illusion becomes easier and quicker. It this light, then, the description of Kata as "moving Zen" is very appropriate."
