Many thanks to Hanshi John Taylor (9th Dan) for this comprehensive list of Kyokushin Karate terminology as detailed in his book "Beginner To Black Belt: Authorized Kata Manual For Kyokushin Karate".
KarateTest.com is another excellent way to learn karate terminology. Their website includes moving illustrations to demonstrate the techniques. Highly recommended. |
