What is the history of kata? Why did it start, how has it changed over the years, why are there so many versions of kata? Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks
 
I don't know very much about the history of kata, but anyway.

Kata = Form

It was started several years ago by martial art masters, why? The masters did start to learn about "Tension" (Force), to make there more powerful they created kata/sanchin.
Kata/Sanchin is all about tension/form, the more tension you can generate/create the more power you get into your punch/kick.

It's not only about "tension" it has another purpose too.

the second point of the kata is to learn the techniques that are in the kata, so that we could use them in a necessary situation.
