KARATE CLASSES CONSISTS OF THREE MAJOR FORMS OF PRACTICE
KIHON ( Basic)
The elementary building blocks of karate: stance, posture, coordinated body movements, and concentration upon the
opponent. These provide a sound foundation. If the basics are strong, it is easy to develop more advanced techniques.
KATA (Form)
A pre-arranged sequence of techniques and movements simulating combat against multiple imaginary opponents. these
specialized method of training is a rational extension of basics, offering situations in which certain attacks and defenses would be applicable. Kata is performed solo or in precision teams, and offers practice in combinations of techniques, focus and release of tension, breath control, and rhythm. Each level of karate study has its prescribed kata that trains the Student, mentally and physically, for the next more advanced level.
KUMITE (sparring)
As with kata, each level of training has its prescribed method of sparring, form the formal five or three-step sparing of the
basic level ( when the targets and attacker/defender are pre-arrange). to the free sparring of the most advanced level (when the participants themselves act/react spontaneously with attacks/blocks, using timing, distance, and strategy. but always, the attack is arrested just before body contact is made, requiring extreme body control and mental discipline.
