Gun Kata

[jazzmasta25]

I did a quick search and was suprised not to see anything on this. Even though a fictional martial art its still extremely cool. Here are a few videos showing it from the movie Equalibrium and Ultraviolet.

Though I don't think you can consider the fictional gun kata a kata since it is not a set of movements, instead you would constantly adapt depending on the situation.

Wow. What strange movies...was that Christian Bale?

To address "gun kata." Clearly the one in the movie is completely unrealistic. But, in the military, you do alot of "dry" practice with weapons. The goal is to master the fundamentals of shooting. That way when you actually load the weapon, all you have to do is follow the habits you've built.

The same goes for practicing your layered defense tactics with weapons training.

So...in a sense...it does exist.

In Equilibrium, the early spot, anyways, looked like Wing Chun sticky hands with a gun in one of them. Nice choreography, I guess.

In the end, I wouldn't call it a gun kata. Just fantastic movie magic. I really don't think you will ever see anyone shooting their way out of a scenario like that on their own.

Oh boy, I guess it is cool in the movies, but is so ridiculous as to appear absurd. I am curious as to just what are the "statistically traditional trajectories of return fire?" Outside of an old school duel or musket era military "lines of infantry" when the enemy was always in a predictable location before the discharge of weapons, what are traditional trajectories other than broad generalizations as to where fire is coming from?

I must admit, though, I do have a "gun kata." It consists of two simple moves.

1) Aim

2) Squeeze*

*repeat as frequently as necessary
