Kihon (“basics / fundamentals”) are the individual moments and tasks which comprises. In music, kihon takes the form of playing individual notes or chords. In karate, kihon takes the form of:
*[[Stances]]
*[[Blocks]]
*[[Breakfalls]]
*[[Punches]]
*[[Strikes]]
*[[Kicks]]
*[[Manipulations and Takedowns]]

These basic lessons in this section are the most important, as all other lessons are built upon, and comprised of, this material. As such, these skills must be constantly practiced, polished, revisited. There is no end to training. It is a journey without a destination.

''Knowing karate isn’t enough; you must become karate'', just as a dancer becomes the dance. Karate must become a part of you, and you a part of it. To get this degree of muscle memory, you must train.

Training is nothing special, nothing magic -- but if you stick with it, you’ll see results -- it’s that simple.
