About KATA
KATA is a modern martial arts academy focusing on the art of Jiu Jitsu. Our system is grounded in a holistic approach to the art with classes focusing on everything from self defense to sport, alongside training programs focused on conditioning and overall fitness.
Through our practice, we advocate for the betterment of health and wellness whilst developing skill. KATA aims to curate a culture that values self-improvement not only for the individual, but for the community as a whole.
When it comes to Jiu Jitsu, we strive for perfection and stress the importance of how the art is executed.
Our approach begins with the focus and development of individual MOVEMENT, then the study of techniques using those movements to gain LEVERAGE over another individual. All together, we use this knowledge to create our own style and approach to the ART.
Our Jiu-Jitsu Training programs
FOUNDATIONS
The Foundations program is the backbone to our system. Here we focus on techniques of Jiu Jitsu for a combative situation. The program covers both 7 standing and 7 ground positions applied for self-defense. Through this program, practitioners will develop an understanding for one on one combat, learn fundamental grappling techniques that apply to various positions of a fight, and build the physical awareness and skill in these positions.
FUNDAMENTALS
After graduating from the Foundations program, students will continue their practice in the Fundamentals program. Here, we focus on techniques that apply to the "game" or sport of Jiu Jitsu. In this program we encompass various techniques that apply to grappling against another trained opponent. This practice consists of technical discussion, drilling, and sparring in both takedowns and ground fighting. Here students will not only learn new techniques, but start to develop an understanding for the mechanics of the technique and how the body can use leverage to control another individual.
STRIKING
Open to members only, the Striking program focuses on the standing phase of combat. In this program, students will learn basic striking, clinching, and takedown mechanics as it applies to one on one combat. Through a series of drills, controlled sparring, and conditioning, students will develop their ability to control distance, defend against strikes, as well as use strikes as a means to close the distance and take an opponent down to the floor.
WORKSHOP
Workshop hours will be held weekly, open to all and free to members. Our hosted workshops will vary from week to week consisting of advanced technical training, guest instructors, seminars, and other movement classes. Contact us for details.
