Essential Technical Aspects of the fighting
GO NO SEN
It means to respond to an attack with a counterattack or block/counterattack. However, the timing must be such as to strike immediately the opponent's attack is completed and before he is able to launch a further attack.
SEN NO SEN
It means attacking simultaneously with the opponent as in nagashizuki. It implies that the 'defender' will be able to complete his attack first, and/or displace the opponent's attack (e.g. nagashitsuki).
SEN SEN NO SEN:
It means to attack when the opponent's intent to attack is perceived, thus pre empting the opponent's attack and catching him/her off guard.
NORU:
It is "riding," or moving in contact with the opponent as a means of controlling the opponent's technique or body movement.. (e.g. 4° San Bon Kumite Geri explains the concept of KO BO JICIGNO (KO: attack, BO: defense, JICIGNO: together).
ITZUKU:
Immediate relaxing – physical and mental– after the execution of the technique. ITZUKU is important to develop in correct and faster way the next technique, or to be ready to defende.
WAZA NO TSUKI TORU TOKORO:
Catch the moment which the opponent attack is finished to perform your attack (GO NO SEN).
UKETE ME TORU TOKORO:
The opposite of WAZA NO TSUKI TORU TOKOROl; Be careful to opponent attack immediately after your attack. Try to reply being relaxed (ITZUKU).
OKORIGA SHIRA:
Anticipate the opponent attack and perform your attack (SEN SEN NO SEN).
MAAI: MA = distance, AI = to meet (with a movement).
This term has in the idea of proper distance compare to the opponent position.
THE CORRECT USE OF DISTANCE IS CALLED “MIKIRI” AND IT IS THE CAPABILITY OF MOVING IN PRECISE WAY, USING MIKIRI, COMPARE TO OPPONENT MOVEMENT.
THE RHYTHM AND THE CADENCE, THEREFORE THE CHOICE OF THE TIME, MUST BE COINCIDE AND MUST BE FOCALIZED WITH THE PROPER DISTANCE. THE TECHNIQUE WILL HAVE A SPACE/TIME CONVERGENCY CALLED “ YOSHI”. THE FOCALIZE OF THIS MOMENT MUST BE POINTED WITH KIAI AND KIME’.
KIAI: The meaning of KIAI is the meeting between the AI (to meet in the belly) and the KI (universal energy).
Therefore it is, for the karate, the convoying in the belly of the energy presents around , to get them out of you, suddenly, to form a technique that will produce the impact.
KIAI is not used only in Martial Arts but also in the other traditional japanese Arts (tea cerimonial act, floral compositions, calligraphy etc.), in which to achieve the perfection in the form, the use of extra-body energy is required (cosmic energy):
Two kind of KIAI can be listed:
MUSE NO KIAI: with sound – It is generally used in the japanese Martial Arts. The sound of the kiai produces also an excellent internal stimulation which gives a major result to the effect found):
YUSE NO KIAI: MUTE OR SEMI-MUTE - It is generally used in the other japanese Martial Arts.
KIME: KIME means “extreme decision” and is referred to the execution of a gesture, perfect from the formal point of view, that brings the power to an extreme limit, not performable in normal psyche-physical condition.
The execution – with kimc – of a karate tehnique, require a good tonicity of the muscles.
Essenzial Aspects of the kata
T.SUZUKI Sensei has recently introduced, based on his enormous experience, six principles to be used for a correct execution of the Kata.

I KI TA KATA: Kata must be alive and done with feeling and purpose;
I NEN: Kata must be performed with spirit;
CHIKARA NO KYO JAKU: Kata should be done with changes in application of power. Technique can be strong or yielding, hard then soft;
WAZA NO KAN KYU: Kata should be done with variations in the timing of movement, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
KI SOKO NO DON TO: Kata must be done with proper rhythm of breathing, when to inhale and exhale.
BALANCE: Proper balance must be maintained in the performance of Kata.

REI NI HAJIMARI REI NI OWARU
The Japanese martial arts start and finish with the BOW. This concept is an integral part of “BUDO” (or Martial Art) and without it, Budo can be poor like a street-fighting. The karateka, has to respect this ritual to improve himself. |
THE MEANING OF THE BOW AT THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF THE LESSON.
The Dojo is a training place and is like where karateka can train both the spirit and the techniques of the Budo. You haven't to enter in the Dojo, with contrast or superficiality because it could be cause of dangerous accidents. When you are in the Dojo you must have good purposes and the rei is the focal point of this soul-state. Whit the first bow, the pupil ought to have a deep respect for his Sensei and demonstrate it with the rei. In the second bow, just before the beginning of the lesson, the karateka promises to training with intense and good prposes. With last rei, at the end of the lesson, the pupil shows his satisfaction for the training.

Dojo Kun
Reisetsu O Mamori (Stick to the rules).
In the dojo good etiquette must be observed by the following rules.
Shingi O Omanji (A student must have loyalty to his instructor).
This is the most important thing in Martial Arts. It is not possible for someone to change his style in Japanese Martial Arts - people who do so cannot learn the correct etiquette and spirit of Martial Arts.
Jojitsu Ni Oberezu (Teachers and students are not all one).
Outside the Dojo you can be friendly with your Sensei but do not take advantage of this friendship.
Shinkenmi Ni Tesseyo (Be serious in your efforts).
No flippancy, chattering, smoking, gum chewing, eating or drinking in the Dojo. Concentrate solely on Karate and train hard in everything you do. The dojo is not a social gathering hall and visitors as well as students shall respect the rules and Maxims.
