Our Style

The Way of Balance

At the JKS we put immense focus on the proper form and balance of each Kihon, or basic technique. Through extensive training our instructors have rigorously, scientifically analyzed, and separated out each individual movement in each individual Kata, and developed an unrivaled spectrum of Kihon techniques. Using these special Kihon, we have refined the kata to be more applicable in Kumite. And in turn, the experience accumulated in Kumite gives feedback to perfect ones Kata and Kihon.  In this way, Kihon, Kata, and Kumite form the inseparable trinity of JKS Karate. Through constant repetition of such techniques, your body learns to move effortlessly, naturally. And your mind learns to be effortless and natural too. JKS Karate is the way of balance.
