KIHON
Kihon (基本) literally translated from Japanese means basic
or foundation. The more solid the base is, the more martial
practice will be sustained. In traditional Karate, the Kihon is
constituted by three fundamental pillars, which are: Shizen
(Posture), Kokyu (Breathing), Aruki (Walking). Mastering
these three groups would undoubtedly make it much easier for
us to go through the techniques of Kata and Kumite. If in some
way it is possible to summarize the art of Karate, we could say
that Karate is made up of Kihon, Kata and Kumite.
The Kihon exercise consists of repeating, repeating and repeat-
ing the basic techniques again and again. In the ShinKaiDo
Ryu, the Kihon is performed following its technical order es-
tablished in the initial part of each class. With his constant
practice the perfection of the movements is achieved , the
character of perseverance and the attitude of the spirit of the
warrior is forged.
In the ShinKaiDo Ryu the Iji Ai are part of the so-called group
of Hitori Waza (Techniques performed with an invisible part-
ner) and make up the first group of the technical arsenal in the
ShinKaiDo Ryu teaching system, this is where the technical
elements of Atemi and Uke Waza are , besides the stances, and
displacements.
