Kata
型 is often used in Japanese martial arts to mean a certain set of movements and techniques.
The meaning in other contexts (and in Chinese or Korean) can be model, type, style, pattern, mold/mould, template, or form.
One Japanese dictionary defines it as a “standard form of a movement, posture, etc. in martial arts, sport, etc.”
Cata
カタ is the name Cata in Japanese (Katakana).
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
