Beginner's Training Tip To successfully learn a technique / kata, you must repeat, review and reduce speed. Start by learning the large (gross) body and directional movements. For example when working on a kata work the stances and the directional changes before incorporating the hand techniques. When one stage is learned add the next stage, and be patient with yourself. One of the most important aspects is to develop body memory through repetition. - submitted by Sensei McColl |

Senior Advanced Tip When working multiple techniques with a partner, continually push each other to a higher level. This includes the quality of stances, techniques, distancing and timing. You will then begin to react to each other not just merely walk through a series of techniques. As you develop the "feeling" your speed will increase as will the realism of your training. Constantly be aware of your stances, centre of balance etc. If it does not feel correct it probably isn't! Please do not sacrifice true karate fundamentals for speed. - submitted by Sensei McColl |
