Shotokan Karate Brown Belt Basics

This is one of our brown belt combinations. Within our Dojo, this shotokan combination is first practiced at brown belt and is used when testing from 2nd Kyu to 1st Kyu,

1. From a left side gedan barai, rotate the body into the shomen position whilst preparing the right arm for a left side age empi uchi (upper rising elbow strike)
2. Strike age empi uchi (upper rising elbow strike) with the lefy arm and bring the body into the hanmi (side facing) position.
3. Next drive off the back leg, rotate the body into the shomen (square facing) position and strike mawashi empi uchi chudan (round elbow strike to the body).
4. Prepare the left arm on the right shoulder with the palm facing the neck, then strike a left side shuto uchi jodan (knife hand strike to the head) and finish in the hanmi (side facing) position.
5. Prepare the right hand high with the palm facing away from you, then strike a right side shuto uchi jodan (knife hand strike to the head) finish in the shomen (square facing) position.
6. Next strike a left side teisho uchi jodan (palm heel strike to the head) and finish in the hanmi (side facing) position.
7. Lastly strike a right side teisho uchi chudan (palm heel strike to the body) and finish in the shomen (square facing) position.
8. Repeat on the other side.

Try and keep the same height throughout the combination and try to keep the head still and facing straight forward throughout the combination.

Timing when performed fast should be a quick 1,2, slight pause, them a quick 1,2, slight pause, them a final quick 1,2.

For our brown belt examination we require 2 sets on each leg slowly and 2 sets on each leg fast.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been training and teaching in shotokan karate over a period of 37 years. Since signing up for SKO and ENSO, I have found the the supplementary training and advice provided has greatly enhanced my karate knowledge and capability. In particular, the online live sessions, with extensive technical detail and knowledge of Okinawan kata has been invaluable. All serious karateka would benefit from exploring this incomparable source.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have yet to be to the physical dojo yet, however, Sensei Huckle is amazing. Exceptionally knowledgeable, willing to answer questions and share knowledge. I highly recommend anybody looking to study Shotokan, or to supplement their existing Shotokan practice to check them out! Oss!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The videos are really great and very easy to follow along to. Sensai Huckle explains and demonstrates everything slowly to begin with then at normal speed with lots of good tips and pointers of common mistakes as well. The members section of the website has lots of videos as well as the Kyu courses. Would highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been doing karate for 1/3 of my life, training in a dojo for 3 - 4 years and outside of a dojo for 5+ years at home, I’ve tried joining other dojos and they couldn’t accommodate my work schedule, I ended up finding SKO and the resources have been great! Not only have I been able to further refine my techniques but I have been able to work my way through the grading system and have just achieved my brown belt, onwards and upwards!

About the author

I have been practicing and teaching karate for over 50 years and believe first and foremost, karateka should enjoy their karate. There is nothing better than seeing a person develop into a great martial artist through their karate practice, while at the same time really enjoying karate.
