THE 3 K'S

Kata is the most important form of training in karate-do, it is the origin of each styles kihon and contains the applications for kumite. This is why the Shotokan classes at the CPIT always include all three aspects, the 3 K's (Kihon, Kata & Kumite). Kihon is kata and kumite, kata is kihon and kumite, & kumite is kihon and kata. However, we should never forget that the origin of everything is Kata.
