The basis of Karate revolves around a core of the following
techniques

Kihon Tsuki & Keri (basic techniques)

Renraku Waza (Combination Techniques)

Uke (Blocks) Sanbom Gumite

Kata (Form)

Ohyo Gumite (Semi free fighting)

Go shin Jutsu (Self defence)

Ji Ju Kumite (Free fighting)

The above become more difficult as the student progresses through
the Kyu grading system.

There are nine grades, starting with White or Novice grade (9th Kyu)
through to Brown (1st Kyu).

After completing the Kyu grade system the student is eligible to start
training for the much harder Dan grade examinations.
