Hashirigakari no Kata
By Kuseru

The main use of this kata is to allow the practitioner to defeat their opponent by attacking at the same moment their opponent starts to attack. The only combat moves which can be performed in this kata are Simultaneous Attacks. No thought is given to defense or attack unless the opponent is attacking. However, since this kata is devoted specifically to Simultaneous Attack, it allows the person performing this kata several advantages. Combination Strike/Parry, Paired Weapon attacks where each action is a Simultaneous Strike with one weapon and Parry with the other, Automatic Defenses which attack the opponent such as Automatic Body Flip/Throw, Automatic Lock, and Automatic Hold are all used by the person performing this kata. The character can even use the Automatic Moves listed above if they posses the move but not the automatic version of that combat move (i.e. if the character has Body Flip/Throw, but doesn't normally have Automatic Body/Flip Throw, they could use Automatic Body Flip/Throw while using this kata). Naturally if the character using this kata has less attacks than their opponent, they can not Simultaneous Attack after they run out of attacks and are left disadvantaged because they cannot defend against these attacks even with the Automatic defenses listed above.
