History of Kata
Like
so
many
things
also
the
roots
of
the
most
Kata
are
sunken
in
the
ocean
of
the
past.
For
sure
it
is,
that
the
founding
of
Kata
as
a
form
for
training
in
the
martial
arts
is
based
on
a
work
of
to
the
monk Bodhidharma.
His
gymnastical
exercises
to
improve
the
fitness
have
been
the
basics
for
the
development
of
the
martial arts in the monestry of shaolin and the spreading of the art als Wu Shu.
In
the
early
days
of
the
17th.
century
the
knowledge
of
this
kind
of
fhighting
and
the
techniques
did come to okinawa.
The
present
Karate
has
a
history
of
300
years
of
development
in
the
different
schools
of
Shuri-te,
Tomari-te, and Naha-te.
Expecially
the
kata
shows
as
much
differences
to
the
chineses
Wu
Shu
techniques
that
it
is
possible to speak about a new or different way of marital art.
We
only
can
guess
how
far
the
changings
of
the
orginal
chinese
Kata
are,
done
by
okinawan
masters.
And
for
some
Kata
it’s
not
possible
any
more
to
find
out
if
it
has
chinese
roots
or
if
it
is
a
new okinawan one.
So
it
is
seems
to
be
impossible
to
find
a
survived
authentic
form.
The
original
version
of
the
founder of the Kata.
We
can
see
this
on
Kata
Kushanku
and
Patsai
(Bassai).
Both
Kata
can
be
count
to
the
first
ones
and exist in present time in many and partly very different variations.
Of
course
it
would
be
very
interesting
ot
see
such
an
original
version
of
a
Kata.
On
the
other
side
every thing, if natur, if human, or human developments, really everything is in change.
Somes changes keeps more some less time and some needs generations.
But
without
changes
there
is
no
development.
Development
is
the
basement
which
brought
the
mankind to the present way of live, civilisation and technique.
In
this
view
the
development
of
Kata
is
a
kind
of
natural
wish
of
all
who
have
serious
interest
in
martial arts and Kata.
