15. Technique Gallery: Karate

 

The following is intended as a reference guide only! It is not a 'how to...' guide.  However, you should find the following very helpful when attempting to learn the Japanese terms for many of the Kyokushin Kihon.

 

After a great evening of training, I spoke with a fellow Budoka about putting together a 'Beginners Guide to Kihon'. He happens to be a Photographer and I thought he might be kind enough to snap a few shots in the Dojo. I put the idea to him and his response was astounding: 'I have a better idea...'

 

Two days later, we met at his studio and he gave countless hours of his time and skill and took the following shots. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Jochen Bachmann of 'PR Bachmann' (www.pr-bachmann.de). Without him this section of the guide would not have been possible.
