Good book. These are not kata in the usual karate sense as they are quite short. They would be more like combos within a single kata. In fact, you could string them together into one form if you wish. with a partner, they are similar to the wazas of Japanese martial arts or the self defense techniques of kenpo.

In the first half of the book, he covers the solo forms, each preceded by a discussion of health benefits and a special Qigong exercise for that form.

In the second half of the book, he isolates a distinctive strike from each kata, showing how to develop it on the hand mitts. This is followed by the practical application of the form.
