The complete Karate student trains in a range
of different areas. All of these areas are
related and practice in one will help
development in the other areas. Making
your Kata better will improve your sparring
abilities; continued practice of basic will
improve your kata; learning about our history
improves our minds and helps us focus more
on our basic to make it better. All of these
elements are linked and so they are
presented here to allow one to see the
different elements and to begin to see how
to make each better.
The links on the left of the page will take you to each of the key areas of study. These links are offered to help students expand their knowledge but they are not a substitute for attending regular classes and following the instruction of the trained Shidoin and Sensei at the Dojo.
The Kyu Promotion and Black Belt links will help students and their parents understand the requirements that must be met to be considered for promotion to the next Kyu or Dan rank.
The Learn More link will give those students that wish to expand their knowledge of Martial Arts an opportunity to explore some of the available books, periodicals and videos that are available.
