Advanced Techniques

Combination Techniques

As practitioners advanced in the training they advance in basic techniques in such a way they develop a new effective series of techniques. These methods are called “renraku waza,” which translate to “combination techniques,” and includes striking, blocking, and dodging or escaping in one smooth motion. These combinations increase the possibility of the practitioner to deal with various conditions and adversaries.

Self-Defense Applications

Kata and kumite are the foundation of karate practice, but actual use techniques are an essential part of the system. Karate moves are meant to be real and workable for any form of fight in a world of martial arts. A particular emphasis is made towards learning how to use the skills in fighting off the usual attacks including grabs, strikes, as well as in dealing with several attackers.

This means that self-defense applications are integrated in the training syllabus so that the karateka is not only a traditional karate fighter but a fighter equipped with dealings for actual life situations.

Training and Conditioning

Conditioning exercises are intended to correspond with technical practice in order to guarantee that the tactic executors possess the necessary physical strength to accomplish the techniques.

Aerobic activities, including running, jumping rope and interval cardio enhance the endurance of the individuals undertaking it and make them endure in the training and competition session.

Stretching and mobility exercises are aspects of flexibility training that inculate the muscle ability to move through a greater arc of motion without pain. Karateka also do the agility activities as well as balance exercises to build up coordination and stability.
