Welcome to the world of Gunkata. Gunkata is a close quarters gun-based martial art. It emphasises kata, or body positioning and movement excercises. This is important because each kata of Gunkata is designed for maximum effeciency in both lethal force and defense. It is of course impossible to see an oncoming bullet and dodge it, but an advanced Gunkata practitioner, known as a Tetragrammaton Cleric or Grammaton Cleric, can put himself in the least statistically possible place to be hit at each moment of a gun fight. Gunkata is based on a scientific analysis of bullet trajectory and range based on the mathematical possible outcomes of a gunfight.

Gunkata forms can be used soley as a form of meditation and self-centering. In civillian applications, Gunkata can greatly increase your chances of coming out a gun fight alive. Sports such as paintball are a good applictaion for Gunkata techniques without the use of deadly force. Gunkata also teaches how to disarm an armed opponent, and has forms for using a weapon that has run out of ammo.

Where did Gunkata originate? From the mind of Kurt Wimmer, director of the film EQUILIBIRUM. So essentialy, this is a fictional martial art. But the forms are real. This site in no way encourages the average person to try these forms with live handguns. It's only goal is to promote the movie, EQUILIBRIUM, and to hopefully kick-start a new martial art, if at least in kata. The safest bet is to try these forms with a paintball gun or toy gun. NEVER try this with real guns. Please.

Please don't try any of this with real guns. That would be dangerous and stupid. Remember, it's just a movie. You cannot dodge bullets in real life.
