Is there kata in kung fu?
I'm curious, could you elaborate on whether or not there is a concept of kata in the realm of kung fu? Kata, as we know it in martial arts, often refers to a series of pre-arranged movements or forms that are practiced for various purposes such as self-defense, discipline, and spiritual growth. Does kung fu, as a diverse and ancient martial art, incorporate similar practices or routines that could be considered kata? I'm eager to understand how, if at all, this concept is integrated into the training and philosophy of kung fu.
