Also known as form
Kata is a Japanese word (型 or 形) meaning 'form'. It refers to a detailed choreographed pattern of martial arts movements. It can also be reviewed within groups and in unison when training. It is practiced in Japanese martial arts as a way to memorize and perfect the movements being executed. Korean martial arts with Japanese influence (hapkido, Tang Soo Do) use the derived term hyeong (hanja: 形) and also the term pumsae (hanja: 品勢 hangeul: 품새).

形稽古、型稽古（かたげいこ）は、芸道・武道・武術等における形を磨く為の稽古（けいこ）。自己の学んだ（流儀）技術の正確な所作・動作・趣旨を理解し確認するのが目的。 一般的に「カタ」には、「形」と「型」の漢字が当てられるが、「型」は鋳型のように型にはまって応用が利かないような印象を与えるため、「形」が使用されることが多い。 類似：⇒、演武、試割り反対：⇒乱取り、地稽古、互角稽古、竹刀稽古
