kihon

Kihon in Karate means “basic” or “fundamental.” It includes essential techniques like strikes, kicks, blocks, and stances. These techniques form the foundation of all other training in Shotokan Karate, and are practiced repeatedly to develop proper technique and muscle memory.

kata

Kata consists of pre-arranged patterns of movements designed to simulate self-defense against multiple attackers. These sequences are performed individually and are regarded as the “forms” or “dances” of Karate. Shotokan Karate features approximately 26 katas. The purpose of Kata is to refine basic techniques, and it aids in developing power, speed, and balance

 

kumite

Kumite, meaning “sparring” in Shotokan Karate, involves applying techniques from kihon and kata in live, sparring situations. Typically done with a partner, kumite can be pre-arranged or free-style. It aims to enhance a student’s timing, distance, and reaction. The ultimate goal is to develop the ability to use techniques effectively and safely in real-life situations
