STRENGTH THROUGH DIVERSITY
MKK
Kyokushin Karate emphasises respect, self control, discipline and character development.
Learn self defence, build confidence, get fit, in a safe environment taught by experienced instructors.
The format of training itself involves a thorough warm-up and stretching, followed by basic techniques (kihon), including stances, blocks, strikes and kicks. Emphasis is placed on good form, posture and safe biomechanics.
As students progress they will learn kata, which are formalised sequences of blocks, strikes and kicks.
Kumite, or sparring is also part of training. Beginners learn a controlled pre-arranged form of sparring which develops technique, distance and timing safely. As skills improve, kumite becomes a more complex free form.
