Way of the Empty Hand
Aside from the dojo precepts, kata is traditionally Karate-do's primary tool for personal development. It is the textbook of Karate-do that is to be learned, understood, and applied. It is the tool by which Karate-do demonstrates fighting principles, but also creates unity in one's body, mind, and soul.
Included at the bottom of this page are videos of the traditional kata I formally teach.

- Anyone had an excellent day of training? I did! Spent some time at a local gym, where I took a karate class (yes, I'm still learning about the art I teach heh), as well as lifted weights for a while.

A few notes about kata
What may seem unnatural motions become second nature with training and practice. Kata assists in drilling good habits, and replacing bad ones. The fighting principles contained within kata, when well applied, will work in many situations. Mentally, kata teaches focus, and attention to all angles. Physically, kata enforces proper use of body structure. Spiritually, kata provides a path of self awareness. Learn more from my student guide Understanding Karate-do - read about it below.
