Bournemouth Karate Club (Wado Ryu)

When we first learn karate just getting ourselves into the right position is an order and kata is a puzzle we are trying to complete whilst everything around us is moving.

The sooner we learn to focus on moving our centre, our body first for everything, the better our karate will be.

Someone asked the question about how to do the first movement in Pinan Sandan as they were used to reaching with the foot first and then turning as opposed to initiating the turn with the body and then the foot follows swiftly.
