We Teach the Art of Okinawan Shorin Ryu Shidokan Self Defense Karate through the practice of:
- Kata: Individually performed patterns of punches, kicks, blocks, joint locks, pressure points, and throws to help you remember self defense technique applications; Repeating Kata at home and in class helps hard-wire your mind and brain to react naturally to attacks. - Kumite: Apply Kata techniques in Partner drills/exercises to practice basic punching, kicking and blocking techniques and controlled sparring that also include throws, responses to grabs, pulls and pushes;
- Bunkai: Understanding Kata technique applictions in a more free-form and useful self defense.
