Training structure
We can training up to 3 times a week. A training sequence lasts 90 minutes. The course of a training is structured as follows:
Gymnastics
Warm up and stretch intensively before training. Various proven gymnastics systems are combined for this purpose. We also value good breathing technique. These supports the whole training and is an important factor.
Primary Training
After Gymnastics, follows the execution of the elementary training (Kihon). This is an essential part of karate training. The correct execution of the basic techniques, starting from the middle of the body (Harra, Tanden), with arms and legs is the basis for all other components such as kumite and kata. As the practice progresses, these elements can be performed and combined more and more correctly, smoothly and powerfully. That promotes good ones Posture, elasticity, strength, concentration, coordination and breathing.
Kumite
The next part of the training is the so-called Kumite. Here the basic techniques from elementary school are practiced with a partner - is stopped in front of the body, without physical contact. Attack and defense are carried out. This means that the attack technique is announced before the execution. The defender blocks the attack with the elementary school technique and counters it with targeted, powerful technique. As the training progresses, this form of exercise is carried out freely from the movement. This promotes concentration, coordination, reflexive reactions and courage.
Kata
The final part of the training form the katas. When performing a kata, the movements are trained according to predetermined processes (embossing). Here, the elementary school techniques are used to fight imaginary opponents. This means that with every movement one should imagine the corresponding fighting situation. Kata is the combination of elementary school (Kihon) and Kumite (combat exercise). A well executed kata is characterized by flowing, rhythmical fast and slow passages off . Imagination, concentration, suppleness and Aesthetics are thereby promoted.
