Kata are the forms used to pass down the information within a martial arts system. The kata serve as a non-verbal, non-written means of communication. Within the Goju Ryu system there are thirteen kata. The kata that we teach at our dojo are as follows

• Geki Sai Dai Ichi (Attack and Smash #1)
• Geki Sai Dai Ni (Attack and Smash #2)
• Saifa (Smash and Tear)
• Sanchin (Three Battles)
• Seiyunchin (To Travel Far in Battle/ To Control, Suppress and Pull)
• Shisochin (Battle in four gates)
• Sanseiru (36 hands)
• Seipai (18 hands)
• Seisan (13 hands)
• Kururunfa 
• Suparimpei (108 hands)
• Tensho (Revolving hands)
• Sanchin Dai Ni 

To facilitate learning the kata, we have recorded one of our instructors performing some of them. Please forgive the low production quality.
