What is kata?
It's our life, being life, expressing life. It's our whole being expressing itself through forms and movement.  
Not any forms or movement but ones which give spacious, stable, flowing, deep, sensitive qualities.  
So when we practice we put our fresh alive, energy, into supportive movements forms. 
The energy from this practice resonates, it vibrates through our life.
In time it diminishes so we refresh it again.
(Ken Waight)
