Our karate philosophy is based on the practice of kihon, kata and kumite.

Kihon refers to the basic techniques; it is useful to learn an effective technique to later apply them in the katas.

Kata in Japanese, means 'form' In Karate terms, Kata is the practice of performing sequences of specific Karate moves targeting a virtual opponent.

Kumite means 'sparring'. In Karate terms, kumite is where two competitors face off performing defensive and offensive techniques in a standing competition. Control of techniques is essential to avoid violent gestures.
