What are kata?

Kata are memorized shadow sparing sequences meant to both drill and demonstrate the forms learned at each rank. NDMAI practices seven colored-belt kata and two additional for the rank of Shodan. Please see below for demonstrations of each form. In addition, here is a link to Cooper-Ryu youtube channel.
