INTRODUCTION

“Kata – a way or form to memorize and improve combat moves”. You will fight through a bunch of enemies on different locations to kill the former apprentices of your master and fix his mistakes of the past. The core of the fight in Katana Kata is in combination of strikes,blocks,parry and dodge – pretty easy to learn but with alot of nuances to master.
