Karate Kata Atlas

File Notes

Methodology

One record per organisation version of a kata. Maker is the style or federation that lists it. Field is the kata family. Year is the first documented year of the name, with its basis; legendary or attributed dates are not used. Related kata are research candidates kept outside the app, not claimed derivations.

Sourcing

Federation, association and dojo curriculum pages and PDFs for each record; dated publications as reported by cited sources for years. Images are Commons-licensed photos, licensed floor-pattern diagrams, or official federation and dojo photos and video stills, credited and linked.

Provenance

File 029. 119 records shown, one per organisation version, each with a source and a documented year. Records with no documented year, or no official image under current rules, are held. Opened 2026-10-19.
