"To describe the experience of moving is like trying to grasp the wind.
You reach out to grasp it and nothing is there, but the wind is still blowing through your hand"

Ken Waight, from his book "Kitaido: Energy, Movement and Life"

What is Kata?

It's our life, being life, expressing life. It's our whole being expressing itself through forms and movement. Not any forms or movement but ones which give spacious, stable, flowing, deep, sensitive qualities.  
So when we practice we put our fresh alive, energy, into supportive movements forms. 
The energy from this practice resonates, it vibrates through our life.
In time it diminishes so we refresh it again.
(Ken Waight)
