Online Karate lesson starting!! 1st lesson.

Online Karate Class with Hiromu Sensei blog is opening now.

I, Hiromu Kanamori is a Karate instructor from Japan, and was teaching Karate in India too.
Now I'm in Tokyo and Yokohama Japan, and have Karate classes there. I'm accepting learners from out of Japan, and travelers.

My experience with travelers let me realize one new idea for Karate school.
Karate is getting very popular today, even it will be in Olympic game, but there are no access to Karate class in some parts of the world even today. So, if I can share virtual Karate class on internet, it may be helpful.

We can find many Karate videos on Youtube today. But I can say, most of them are not for beginners. In order to get skills on Youtube, learners need basement of Karate.

When I was traveling in some countries, could find misunderstanding in Karate. Unfortunately, we Japanese people are not good at English. Many countries couldn't get direct lesson from Japanese masters. Therefore some lessons, especially connecting to culture or language of Japan, tend to be misunderstood.
If I can help more people to understand philosophy and tradition of Karate, will be great pleasure.


Karate has two types of training.
One is practice for 1 practitioner. The other is for plurals. Most of the other Japanese martial arts focus on practice for 2 or more people.
For example, if you try to learn Judo, you need to get practice partner to do good practice.
Karate focus on more for 1 practitioner.
Most important practice is "Kata" in Karate. It can be practiced by one. "Kata" makes our body and mind strong, and teaches "how to use our body efficiently". When you have done some Kata practice properly, you will be able to use your potential power, and be able to get self-defense skills or advanced techniques quickly.
I think basic and Kata can be learnt on internet. (However, I have to say, not perfectly, but mostly.) We can do major part of Karate here. (When the time comes, I may share some self-defense techniques, after Kata.)

Only fighting techniques and body exercise are Karate? No. One of the important aims in Karate is to advance practitioners mind and spirit too, like Yoga and meditation.
So I would like to introduce general lessons from Japanese masters, not only lessons of fighting, but also about manners or discipline.
You will be able to behave like advanced students in Karate class, when you visit Japan or Karate class somewhere, after my Online lesson.

2020 Olympic is in Tokyo. Karate is also subject of it. If your country is not ready for the Karate, I can help. Kata is also in the competition. If you want, I can visit your country and open Karate seminar.
Or you want to visit Japan? It's also welcome.
