JKA Karate Information Guide

At JKA Castle Hill, students learn traditional Japanese Karate through three interconnected areas of training:

Kihon – basic and fundamental techniques

Kata – formal patterns of techniques

Kumite – partner work and sparring


These three areas are not separate parts of Karate. They work together to develop technique, timing, balance, speed, power, control, awareness and confidence.
