Normal Class
Routines
1. All classes start with warm-up
exercises.
2. “Basics” are next. Every class
will have Basics either traditionally or in an
alternate form.
3. This is normally followed by a series
of repetition exercises and advanced physical
training.
4. Next is Kata, a series of
prearranged movements, usually in the
form of an imaginary fight against multiple
opponents.
5. Other training depending on the
needs of the students as observed by Sensei.
Other training
includes:
1. Yokosoko Kumite, commonly called one
step sparing, against a single partner,
2. Uke Waza, blocking techniques with
partner.
3. Arm Training, routines to help toughen
the wrists, with a partner.
4. Self-defense training, controlling
techniques, can be more grappling in nature.
5. Tumbling and Falling training.
6. And other things too numerous to
mention.
Not every thing is taught every class.
There is simply not enough time. All classes
have steps 1 and 4.
Basics are the most important thing to study
in Karate. Everything else is based on the
Basics.
Do not let the name “Basics” fool you,. The
Basics are anything but “Basic”.
As you grow in Karate, and gain a greater
understanding of the Basics, you will grow in your
abilities, and all of the things that they are
teaching you to do.
Sometimes an entire class is spent on nothing
but Basics. This is how important they are
to the development of Karate skills.
