Program Details

Practice with precision

Begin with the 24-kata: a combined kata of five mini-katas that introduces rhythm and core techniques.

Break each kata into 24 manageable moves, study the segments, then link them together.

Use the “dim sum” method—practise small portions until comfortable, then combine them into a full sequence.

Aim for 70% or higher on each of the ten katas before moving forward.

Practise at a pace that preserves form, breathing, and balance, then connect the moves into one flow.

Deeper Meaning of Katas

Moving meditation in every stance

Katas are the soul of karate, preserving tradition, technique, and spirit across generations.

Each form is a moving meditation that builds focus and mindfulness—distinct from prayer’s spoken recitations.

Spiritual understanding matters: tournament experience shows that knowing the kata deeply strengthens kumite.

Breath-first movement and bowing rituals reinforce respect for self, peers, and tradition.
