how to learn karate
Can someone with no time, really learn karate at home? There is some great karate for begginers information online, so if you are contenplating starting karate, find it out. With some online tutorials, you will be able to understand what to expect if you attend a karate club. Follow this link for some free Karate for beginners videos.
But if you have some video instruction, I only recommend using them at the same time you attend classes conducted by a qualified karate instructor and the moves you practice, will be basics (kihon) or forms (kata).

Bassai Dai
Bassai Dai translates as "To storm a fortress" and is practiced in many styles of karate. There are many variations of the original Passai, which was the original name for Bassai.
It is believed that there were two versions of Passai practiced on Okinawa.
Karate master, Sokon Matsumrua brought one Passai kata to Okinawa, from China and the other was taught to Okan Oyadomari on Okinawa, by a Chinese martial artist, who resided there.
The one we are referring to here, is the shotokan Bassai Dai, which many believe came from the Okan Oyadomari lineage.

[I:http://mymartialartsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/AlCase3.jpg]I’m going to tell you something incredible but easy to do in this article. I am going to tell you how to make your style of Karate into Kung fu. And, of course, you should be able to make your style of Kung Fu into Karate.
The fact of the matter is that the various styles of Karate developed from Kung fu. For hundreds of years Okinawa was the center of commerce for the far east, and every art, soldier, ambassador, or whatever, came through the doors, and the arts gathered, were dissected, and reorganized to the extreme. Still, there are only so many things you can do with the body, and the main differences that you are going to find are going to be stylistic.

[I:http://mymartialartsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/AlCase22.jpg]Nobody else knows about this, but it is the best kick I know. This is an amazing kick, but it’s true,and I never see anybody else use it. Not in tournaments, not in the MMA, not even in good, old commercial school freestyle.
This kick is fast, as fast as thought, and if I am not careful, and don’t pull it and merely plant it gently, it is a real rib breaker. This kick is powerful, it is probably the most powerful kick in all the martial arts. And, every time I use it, I get it.

[I:http://mymartialartsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/AlCase20.jpg]Bruce Lee did his best to kill the kata. “Why should anybody do forms,” he queried. And, the one that most people remember, “Boards don’t fight back!”
It is too bad that Bruce was wrong. Forms can be totally amazing training tools. If they do have problems in them these shortcomings can easily be corrected.
First and foremost, when doing a form, one gets one heck of a work out. With ten minutes for an average karate form, do a form a twelve times and you will be sweating like a gosh darned pig. They don’t only make for good body calisthetics, but they are n excellent cardio workout.
