All Members learn the basic Tenets which are required for Karate-Do training :
  • Manners
  • Respect
  • Responsibility
  • Effort
  • Appreciation

These Tenets are must to achieve the target goals and prepare yourself for regress training. Shorinjiryu Watanabe-Ha Karate-Do training consists of the following :
  • KIHON WAZA: Basic techniques of our Style.

  • KATA: Kata is a formal exercise done by one person. It is practiced to develop knowledge, form and style. It aims to achieve maximum efficiency in each motion as well as beauty. Kata is judged by each individual technique as well as how well the motions are integrated to compose the entire exercise. 


  • TANSHIKI KUMITE: Single step techniques. Kumite is prearranged fighting form executed by two or more persons. It is practiced to develop technique, endurance, Karate form and a sense of judgment and timing. This type of kumite is unique to Shorinjiryu Watanabe-Ha Karate-Do.

  • FUKUSHIKI KUMITE:  Multiple step techniques. 

  • SHIAI: Full Contact fighting practice. Shiai (sparring) is a Karate contest in which Karate participants wear specially designed protection (bogu) so that blows may be delivered with full force without the serious risk of injury. In Shiai, any technique, including throws may be used. The contest is ended when a substantial strike is delivered to a key body point or target area.

  • GOSHIN JUTSU WAZA: Self Defense techniques. Goshin Jutsu Waza is self-defense techniques consisting of punching, striking, blocking, kicking, throwing, holding, joint locking, grappling and choking techniques.

  • BUKI HO: Traditional Weapons practice. Buki-ho is a formal exercise done by one person, or prearranged fighting forms executed by two or more persons incorporating traditional weapons. Weapons such as the Bo (6 foot staff), Sai (3 pronged fork or harpoon), and Jo (4 foot staff) are practiced. This enhances the student's reflexes, timing, and extension of the empty hand techniques.
