 3 Main Elements of Karate

Kihon

Basic Movement Kihon is the basic movement when broken down into the Simplest form.  Just as children in school learn the basics of writing the letters of the alphabet before learning to write sentences. In Karate the student must learn the simplest movements before putting them into the sequence of a flow. The basic form must be practiced regardless of level.

Kata

The kata is a unique exercise that encompasses the very essence of this martial art. A kata, or form, is by definition a predetermined set of movements that represents the motions of blocking, striking, punching, and kicking against imaginary opponents.

Kumite

Training with a Partner enhances the learning curve by making the Kihon and Kata hands on and practical.  When working with a partner distance and timing become part of the focus.
