Training sessions
Master Kanazawa has developed a syllabus for the study of karate that
contains: basics, fighting techniques (sparring) and form. These are
referred to as kihon, kumite and kata respectively. Each lesson starts
with a comprehensive warm-up and stretching routine to prepare the body
for punching, blocking and kicking techniques.
Anyone can train in karate and develop their fitness and technique.
Kobukan treats each student as unique and adjusts the training
programme accordingly. The emphasis is on safe, gradual progression
through the syllabus so the body has time to adapt to the new ways of
moving and the mind has time to learn new techniques without becoming
overloaded. Karate taught in this way has a beneficial effect on the
body and enhances one's fitness, health and general well being. Correct
training enables a person to continue practicing karate into their 50s,
60s and 70s and beyond. Karate training is particularly beneficial for
young people for improving their co-ordination and concentration.
