Description
Karate Jutsu Kai promotes a strong spiritual sense of inner well being through rigorous physical training and martial conditioning. The training can be categorized into 3 definable elements, which have been developed and refined through hundreds of years of constant study. These areas are listed below;

Kihon

Kihon is the fundamental building blocks in Karate Jutsu. It is the basic tools of karate-do, which help students to develop good effective self-defence techniques. The constant application of Kihon increases fitness levels, focus, inner spirit and the perfection of techniques with deadly efficiency.

Kata

Kata envelops the axiom of Karate Jutsu through the movement of preordained techniques and varying stances against an imaginary opponent. Like shadow boxing, Kata develops elements of realism through fluid movement, enhancing focus, good timing, discipline and breathing. In short, Kata is an integral part of karate-do.

Kumite

Kumite is the amalgamation of kihon and kata. It represents the physical combat between students, be it semi or full contact. Kumite in the dojo introduces the karateka (student) to sparring within a controlled environment which helps to condition the student as well as familiarize themselves with techniques he or she have been practicing at kihon level. Karate Jutsu sparring is an effective form of combat, delivering techniques to disarm or disable an opponent efficiently be it in the dojo or on the street.
General information
Karate Jutsu Kai is an internationally acclaimed style of Karate-do affiliated to the WIBK (World Independent Budo Kai).

The style continues to evolve in today's society providing a firm basis for self-defense and a fitness regime, which challenges students both physically and mentally. Over time students soon develop a martial attitude and a clear understanding that Karate Jutsu can be implemented not only in combat, but in everyday life. In short, one learns to fight, so one does not need to fight, and as such, each person evolves with confidence, dedication, respectful values and a core belief that Karate-do is a constant study of oneself.
