As I said in Creating a kata: Part 1, you create a kata in order to:

That you are "filling a void" or "improving" something is a big assumption. Nonetheless one can see some obvious examples, eg. with beginner kata; finding newer ways of teaching beginners how to acquire basic coordination and... Read More
