Adult Curriculum

Shido-kan karate-do teaches self-defense through the practice of:

• Kata — individually performed sequences that combine a variety of kicking, punching and blocking techniques.
• Kumite — two-person exercises for practicing basic punching, kicking and blocking movement techniques as well as prearranged, controlled sparring drills that include a variety of throwing techniques.
• Bunkai —applications of the kata forms practiced in a group of four to five people.

Progressively more complex kata, kumite and bunkai are taught as a student advances through the belt levels. Each training session includes warm-ups, stretching and conditioning. A student’s progress through the belt ranks will depend on his or her attitude towards learning and the amount of practice time that is put in both in class and at home.
