As a whole, Ghost Kata is a highly reactive fighting style which revolves around the effective evasion and counteraction of enemy offenses. The key principle of this form of fighting is that the user is never to take the "first move" and is to always react with swiftness, strength, and deadly accuracy. For example, should an opponent rush Kaidan with a simple punch, he would rely upon his body's natural speed in order to avoid the strike and counterattack; typically aiming for one of the more sensitive or vital areas on the body in order to quickly disable the opponent.
