A kata, or code kata, is defined as an exercise in programming which helps hone your skills through practice and repetition. Dave Thomas @pragdave, started this movement for programming.
Kata is a Japanese word (型 or 形) meaning "form". It refers to a detailed choreographed pattern of martial arts movements made to be practised alone. It can also be reviewed within groups and in unison when training. It is practised in Japanese martial arts as a way to memorize and perfect the movements being executed.
