Kata

Kata

Different styles of karate have different kata. There are sometimes many different versions of the same kata. Just because a kata looks and feels different from one that you know it should be remembered that kata is open to interpretation and this means it might not necessarily be wrong. However, what ever your style, kata contains everything you need to know about karate. You could almost liken it to DNA, within kata the old masters placed all the techniques, you just need to unravel it and understand it.

Kihon

The basics, whilst karate is more than just kicking & punching, good solid basic techniques are the basis for all good karate. If your basics are not up to scratch, it's a bit like building a house on bad foundations. Eventually it will fail and fall down.
