Karate Kihon

About the Class

This class is for PURPLE, BROWN, and BLACK belts. The Kihon class is the cornerstone of Shotokan Karate training, focusing on the fundamental techniques that are essential for practitioners of all levels, from beginners to advanced students. This class is designed to refine and strengthen the basic movements that form the foundation of karate, including strikes, kicks, blocks, and stances. Kihon practice is not just about physical repetition but also about developing a deep understanding of the mechanics behind each movement. Students will learn how to generate maximum power through correct body alignment and breathing, as well as how to maintain proper posture and stability in every technique. The class is structured to be inclusive, with drills and exercises tailored to the skill level of each participant. Advanced students may be challenged with more complex variations or combinations of basic techniques, while beginners focus on mastering the fundamentals. By regularly attending the Kihon class, students of all belts will build a strong technical foundation, which is critical for their progress in kata, kumite, and overall karate development. This class reinforces the importance of discipline, concentration, and consistent practice in the journey toward mastery of Shotokan Karate.
