Progression

The early stages of training concentrate on basic movements and learning to punch, kick, throw and break your fall. You'll then progress to learning more compex striking, throwing and locking techniques. When you have gained more confidence, you'll do regular practice in sparring with strikes, groundfighting and randori- free throwing practise. Once you get beyond black belt, you can also do weapons training.
