Talk:Kata

Various names of the Martial Arts' Choregraphies
This page lacks the clarification of the choregraphies' etymologies, which isn't too much of a problem except in the last words of the page, which are as follows, and I quote:

"'However, every character in their Mortal Kombat: Armageddon's endings perform a kata.'"

And, from my personal experience of martial arts, I can assure that those sequences of movements are called dǎo as well as tàolù in the Chinese culture, but they're called tul and hyeung in Taekwondo and other korean arts, as well as yudhan and pentra in Sanskrit, quyen in Vietnamese, aka in Burmese, oh, adn also jurus and tari in Silat and all of its variants (Penkak being the best known).

As for the European martial arts, it's, well, choregraphies, or plays.

I didn't edit the page because I'm not sure that this would be integrated, but still, that's a pretty important thing, it'd be like qualifying crêpes as pancakes, and cola as soup.
