The Kata Commission of the International Judo Federation has launched a major initiative to encourage judoka from around the world to continue practising judo by adapting their training to the current situation. The underlying idea is that, despite the restrictions linked to the COVID-19 crisis, it is still possible to maintain our capability for progression. For this, kata can be an important tool, on the one hand for understanding our sport and on the other hand for personal development at the service of the judo community.
