Karate Do, Kata, Kihon, Kumite, ShotokanAbstract
The aim of this work is to illustrate the importance of Kihon, Kata and Kumite in the practice of Karate Do. For this, a total of 20 publications on the subject were consulted and eight recognized instructors of the Shotokan style with Fifth Degree Black Belt (Godan) or higher in Panama were interviewed; who shared their experience regarding Kihon, Kata and Kumite. According to the results, the Kihon, made up of hand techniques, postures and foot techniques, requires constant practice to improve the execution of the Kata and Kumite, which is why all the interviewed instructors include them in the daily training sessions. As for the Kata, Kanku Dai is considered by both the instructors and the references consulted, as one of the most complete for self-defense. Regarding Kumite, the group of experts confirmed that the gyaku-tsuki (hitting with the fist opposite to the lead leg) is the most effective blow; while, in leg techniques, this depends on the mastery of the practitioner and the arbitration system used. In conclusion, through the integral practice of Kihon, Kata and Kumite, the Karateka can achieve adequate development in this martial discipline.
