Kihon Maximized (Form, strength, coordination and strategy) April 12-13, 2003

Yoram Cohen (Godan)

This special seminar emphasizes training methods to increase one’s hip power, balance, agility and coordination. The hips are central to effective karate techniques. Therefore, the hips and legs should be especially trained, keeping in mind total body training. Form in technique is paramount in karate and using one's hips to develop effective form will be a key topic in the seminar. Learning how to use one's hips in kihon practice, kata and kumite will be emphasized. The seminar will also help attendees design individualized exercises to build hip and lower body strength, speed and agility. The ultimate objective is for one to develop "live" and "courageous" hips so as to unite effective techniques with a successful fighting strategy.
