Kime shiki means, roughly, "in the style of Kime no kata." It refers to a portion of another Kodokan kata (the Seiryoku Zen'yo Kokumin Taiiku no kata) in which a series of techniques are performed which closely resemble (but don't exact duplicate) some of the techniques in Kime no kata.
The SRZKT no kata has two main parts:
- Tandoku Renshu "Solo Exercise" is a series of basic strikes & blocks performed alone
- Sotai Renshu "Paired Exercise" is a series of techniques performed with a partner
The Sotai Renshu has two parts:
- Kime Shiki is ten techniques (five seated/five standing) similar to parts of Kime no kata
- Ju Shiki is ten techniques from Ju no kata
