Welcome to the FT-KARATE Kata Academy – your structured guide to deep kata understanding
The learning program is based on the teaching methodology of Fiore Tartaglia, 7th Dan Shotokan, with over 50 years of experience as a teacher and trainer.
Each Kata is not only demonstrated here but also explained: with biomechanics, basic principles, common mistakes, variations, and a 16-point checklist for self-monitoring.
The goal is not quick memorization, but true understanding.
The academy is continuously growing. Starting with the Heian series, all 26 Shotokan Kata will be gradually added.
Heian shodan is available to you for free, as a first insight into the methodology.
