This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I think it needs some work on grammar, sources and organization.

This is a good start to an article, but it definitely needs more information. I am unfamiliar with this topic, and I was confused. I think you will need to include at least some background on what kendo and kenjutsu are ... and even what kata is. Basically, I understood only 1-2 out of every three words. If you can add more background so that newcomers to the topic can follow along, that would help. Karanacs (talk) 15:01, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

This is a sub-article from Kendo so the level of background does not have to be high but, as mentioned above, some mention of what Kendo and Kata is would not be amiss. The jargon is pretty heavy but at least the terms are linked. At this point the article, in reality, consists of a list of kata and a small expansion of one particular kata not on the list along with the reason for this kata's introduction. To justify the articles title - there should be some expansion of the kata in the list. Perhaps how many moves, origin, etc. The kata section in the main Kendo article has more information than this article which does not seem right. A good example is the kata section of the judo article for the type of information that could be included. As this article now stands I have to question the need for a separate article.Peter Rehse (talk) 14:20, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
