Karate classes for kids at Church Street Community Leisure Centre NW8 London https://www.mykarateclub.co.uk/church-street-dojo
Training with Filippo Oct 26
In this video, we explore **Kata Kihon** and how its karate techniques can be adapted and applied in different situations.
We look at how to turn traditional karate techniques into **grappling applications**, including takedowns, locks and controls, as well as how the same movements can be used in **stand-up karate sparring**.
The goal is to explore the possibilities within the techniques and understand how kata can connect with practical applications.
Train smart, train safely and understand the techniques before applying them. 🥋
