About
Welcome to this Beginner's Shotokan Karate session for the second year in a row! 🥋 (Shotokan Karate is one of the four major styles of karate, and is one of the most popular and well-known styles in the world.)
Whether you're a complete beginner or looking for an exciting activity to try, this session will introduce you to the basics of Shotokan Karate from the comfort of your own home. Cams on is not required, but if you want proper critique on your technique is recommended!
This session will simulate the experience you would have in a training dojo, with a 10-minute warm-up and 50 minutes of karate technique afterwards + a Q&A. It will be a very active session so ensure you have some space (at least enough to kick in front of you safely).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🤔What we will cover:
1.) 🏋️♀️ Warm-up: We will start with a 10-minute warm-up to prepare your body for training. We will focus on dynamic exercises and stretches to improve flexibility and get your heart rate up.
2.) 🤜 Basic Techniques (Kihon): Learn fundamental punches, blocks, and kicks with proper form and execution. I will provide demonstrations and feedback to help you improve.
3.) 🥊 Sparring Techniques (Kumite): We will cover basic sparring techniques to refine timing, distance, and defensive skills. Please ensure you have enough space to perform these techniques safely.
4.) 📚 Shotokan Karate Terminology: Throughout the session, we will be familiarising ourselves with key terminology and concepts to enhance our understanding and communication within the karate community. e.g. how many belts are there, what is kata, and how long until you can become a black belt?
5.) 🧘 Cool-down: Conclude the session with a brief cool-down period (hydration!) and answering any questions!
---------------------
👥 Who is this session intended for?: This session is open to anyone interested in learning the basics of Shotokan Karate, regardless of age or fitness level. Beginners and those with some prior experience are welcome.
