KIHON
基本
These are basic movements done without a partner. The
goal of kihon practice is to teach the student the basic movements of karate.
The movements are often broken down into their component parts to better
facilitate learning. As the student advances, they may be grouped to make
combinations.
New students should take their time at first, learning to
make the movements properly. There will be lots of time to go faster later as
your ability increases. Doing the movement properly helps prevent injury and
gives the student a firm foundation on which to build. If learned improperly, it
takes much longer to relearn. So take your time and get it right the first
time.
