Red Dragon Karate is a traditional Shotokan Karate club based in Crewe, and we were established in January 2017. As a traditional club, we focus on three areas of training, these are –
Kihon (Basics) – These are the punches, kicks, blocks and strikes that we use throughout our training. These techniques focus on key areas of the opponents body, to help defend yourself and subdue the opponent.
Kata (Forms) – These are pre-determined patterns and sequences of moves. These are part of traditional Shotokan karate, a lot of sport Karate clubs neglect these, however they do form part of the syllabus and enables students to practice their Kihon alone to improve their techniques.
Kumite (Sparring) – This sparring section has various levels that the student progress through as they progress through their grades. Sparring starts off with basic stepping punch attacks, then at middle levels they learn how to defend against single attacks, including kicks, and then finally at senior grades, they learn to defend against any attack whilst moving, including grabs, chokes and holds.
