After five days of rare intensity during the Paris World Judo Championships Veterans, the atmosphere took a noticeable shift this morning as the 2025 World Kata Championships began. Silence replaced the roar of crowds; focus took the place of adrenaline. As the first pairs stepped onto the tatami, a sense of poised precision filled the venue.
Today’s programme for the seniors featured Katame-no-kata, Nage-no-kata, Ju-no-kata and Koshiki-no-kata, while the juniors showcased their skill and synchronicity in the Nage-no-kata. With every gesture codified and every breath in unison, once agains kata revealed the quiet beauty and deep discipline at the heart of judo.
