Whether a single student or an entire class in unison does the performance, Katas are used to demonstrate the skill, knowledge and discipline of the student. Sometimes referred to as "forms", Katas are a series of techniques (movements) put together to tell a story or re-enact a confrontation situation. Katas were developed or created by instructors for use as a training tool. Katas are a cornerstone in the learning process. Students learn steps (movements or sequence of multiple movements) to be able to perform the Kata. In some Katas there may be as few as eighteen steps, while others may contain hundreds.
