Our karate practice can be very difficult. The main difficulty lies in training one's mind to be disciplined and focused. Remember, anyone can be lazy, because that is the easiest thing to do!

Karate may be defined as a weapon-less means of self-defense. These techniques use all parts of the body to their maximum advantage. Our fundamental techniques are divided into three main aspects:

Kihon — Basic blocks, punches, kicks, and stances
Kata — Pre-arranged forms simulating combat situations
Kumite — Sparring

In each category, the beginner is given instruction at the most basic level until the techniques become spontaneous to them. As the student progresses technically, the practice progresses physically and the student begins to build greater stamina. At this stage, one involves himself or herself with the more intricate and difficult katas and more dynamic forms of kumite.
