Learn about Kihon, the fundamental training that builds a real martial artist

Kihon is a Japanese term meaning "basics" or "fundamentals." The term is used to refer to the basic techniques that are taught and practiced as the foundation of most Japanese martial arts.

The practice and mastery of kihon is essential to all advanced training, and includes the practice of correct body form and breathing, while practicing basics such as stances, punches, kicks, blocks, and thrusts, but it also includes basic representative kata.

Kihon is not only practicing of techniques, it is also the martial artist fostering the correct spirit and attitude at all times.

Kihon techniques tend to be practiced often, in many cases during each practice session. They are considered fundamental to mastery and improvement of all movements of greater complexity.

As an aditional fact, it can be really funny...

3 Excercises to improve kid's balance and coordination

The true purpose of teaching the martial arts is not to turn kids into fighters. Instead, the aim is for them to learn respect, discipline, and humility, and that self-defense skills are best used as a last resort. Of course, the martial arts are also great fun, offering such terrific benefits as improved balance and coordination. 

Start each exercise with your feet shoulder-width apart and repeat moves at least ten times for the most benefit.

Front Stance: Place your hands on your hips and lunge forward with your right leg, keeping your left leg straight, until you can't see your toes. Then, return to the starting position and switch legs.

Front Kick: Stand with one leg slightly in front of the other, with your fists and elbows as shown. Lift your back leg up to hip height, with your knee bent and toes flexed. Extend your leg out and up, then bring it back through the bent-leg position and return it to the floor. Switch legs.

Gorilla Thumping: Start slowly, then pick up the pace as you improve. Thump your chest four times, gorilla-style, alternating arms. Then squat down, slap the floor with your palms four times, and return to the starting position.
