Like Judo, Kata is a Japanese term which is not surprising as the art also comes from Japan. The result is that when it comes to sparring, your technique should be more crisp and sharp as a result. Basically, there’s a lot to be said for practicing moves without resistance over and over again. In Karate, Kata is a commonly used term and means to practice moves that you would apply in sparring (also referred to as Kumite in Karate).
