TRADITIONAL KARATE

Centuries have passed since the origin of this incredible martial art that delves into the deeper meaning of existence. The historical texts and research studies explain how over the years, the commercialization of Karate has made it lose its essence. Traditional Karate is nowhere to be seen in its exact form where it is taught to achieve what the real goals of this martial art are. Traditional karate carves the learner to fight his ego rather than a second person. It teaches him to take upon himself the difficult tasks and arduous activities to break the outer cover of arrogance and bring out the true self. It is said that only after you truly realize who you are can you deal with others. A true form of Karate self-defense means the willpower to keep violence at bay and not to hurt anyone unless and until you feel it is extremely necessary for a moral end. It stands for only justice and peace. Fights, kicks, and harsh injuries only come as a last resort when you feel that you are completely helpless.

KATA

The word ‘kata’ in Japanese means ‘form’. ‘Kata’ consists of individual steps that help a learner to master Karate. These are advised to be practised solely for optimal learning of the technique. It was the sole way in which traditional karate masters imparted knowledge to their pupils. Kata includes swift moves and sudden reflexes that help majorly in strengthening the core muscles and hip.There are 102 katas that are approved by the World Karate Federation out of which Karate kata 1 is what you might have seen mostly in movies. It is the basic step where a person with his folded palms would move both his hands away from his body in order to punch the person standing opposite to him. Similarly, there are 101 other forms of kata that a learner of karate needs to master before he calls himself a professional. Katas are, however, not just limited to Karate and are found to have been an integral part of other art forms like Kabuki and Chado. Often they are considered to be fatal with sharp and quick steps. And due to this reason, it takes years of practice to finally become smooth and comfortable in using all katas.

SPORTS KARATE

Now, this is where Karate today takes a different turn. Here, the primary focus is entertainment combined with sportsman spirit. Over the recent years, Karate as a sport began to gain popularity and it eventually made its entry into the Olympics in 2020 as one of the five new additions. So is Sports Karate different from traditional karate? Yes, the two have significant differences that include the application of katas, sparring, and many more nuances that clearly shows the polarization. Sports karate is more leaned towards competition and gaining points. It, therefore, has those characteristics of other Sports. Moreover, Sports Karate does not look into the philosophical and historical side of martial art. Rather, it has taken the lesson from traditional karate and has given a touch of its own.

KUMITE

Kumite is the third pillar of Karate. It is where the learner tries to practise what he has learned from the Kata and Kihon on another person.

With our specialized training that covers all elements of Karate, learning Kumite will happen in a structured and timely fashion. This pillar of Karate tests the real strength of the learner or karateka. Kumite gauges how effective the pulls and punches of the karateka are.

We can guarantee you the best Kumite tutors, who have learned all types and variations of Kumite through years of practice and experience.

Karate training is the stepping stone to a balanced life.

Most of us perceive karate fighting as physical banter. But it is an entirely different concept. Before starting the karate kicking journey, let us understand the basics of karate training. Karate was initially referred to as 'Chinese hand' in Kanji. Later it was changed to 'Empty hand' as Kanji found existence in the Japanese language.
