Welcome to Karate Lessons! KL’s first rule of teaching is, “Practice at your local dojo.” We want to make it clear that KL is not a place new and intermediate students will be learning physical techniques.
KL is a website geared not toward teaching techniques, but rather about presenting principles and ideas that students can apply to their martial art, and in their daily lives. The principles are as universal as possible, applicable to martial arts, and life in general. For example, a front kick to the shin is a technique. The concept of softening techniques, however, is not about the techniques themselves, but the idea of directing the opponent’s attention away from the real area of attack. You can apply this concept in a martial sense, and also in the world of business and other areas of life.
KL will have content available to anyone. Eventually, we’ll add a membership level and finally, access to detailed courses as a paid level. We will have articles and regular columns, as well as interviews with our instructors.
