Typical classes at our dojo consist of the 3 main elements of training:

• Kihon (basic techniques - blocks, punches, kicks, and footwork. This is the foundation of karate)

• Kata ("Forms"- A prearranged series of kihon replicating a fight or movements within combat)

• Kumite (sparring - both free sparring and sparring using techniques learned from kihon and kata)

​

• Exercises and stretches for strength, endurance and to prevent injuries during training. 

• Self-defense drills and techniques often called Bunkai which are practical applications of what each technique is used for and the variety of ways to implement them.
