Our Training Approach
Kihon
Kihon is "basic", the fundamental aspect of karate that build the foundation of the art. Including essential movements like stances, strikes, kicks, and blocks. Repetitive practice of kihon develops technique, strength, and coordination, and serves as the groundwork for more advanced skills.
Kata
Kata, meaning "form" in Japanese, refers to choreographed patterns of movements practiced solo or in pairs. These sequences teach and refine techniques, stances, and strategies. In karate and other martial arts, kata helps develop technique, coordination, and focus.
Kumite
