Kata Jitte

Description: The Kata's name "strength of 10 men" gives it away. This is a powerful Kata and one must show good use of power. As in Heian Sandan, but also Bassai Sho, this Kata challenges the practitioner with concentration and locking of the hips during the three blocks (Jodan Yoko Uchi Barai). Jitte (as well as Bassai Dai) also teaches a certain power that can be described as "Breaking Power"
