Examples

“judo kata”

“About fifty kata, or "formal exercises," are practiced at the present⟳ time, some having been passed down from generation to generation, others having been developed fairly recently.”

“Katas are a series of motions, such as punches, strikes, and kicks, arranged in a specific pattern. The pattern allows the motions to flow⟳ into one another. A student must learn⟳ a new kata to advance to each new belt level.”

“When the competitor's name⟳ is called, she stands on the designated line, bows to the panel of judges, and announces the name⟳ of the kata she will perform⟳.[…]She then performs the kata. When she is finished, her opponent performs her kata. At the end⟳ of the second kata, both return⟳ to the mat area to await the decision of the judging panel.”

“These kata will give⟳ you the C# syntax for inheritance.”
