Kata Chinte

Description: Rare or unique Hand. This Kata has its origin in China and therefore we find many circular movements in it which is more common for Chinese martial arts. Its challenge is to master developing and transferring power from Tate Shuto Uke to Tate Tsuki. Learning to use the back leg to create power and shift from Sochin Dachi (or Fudo Dachi) into ZKD (Zenkutsu Dachi). The open finger attack/counters make this a good Kata for self-defense or people who lack power. This Kata also has many changes of directions but also in its tempo.
