Can you share some resources on katas for studying? It just seems like karate moves, which is cool, but doesn't seem like what you're talking about.

kata is making a repetitive movement, so that you can make the movement naturally, without thinking. While it is most well known as martial arts training, there are kata for most traditional Japanese arts, even tea ceremony. In the west it has gotten used for any sort of repetitive training used to reinforce a skill.
