Each course begins and ends with a short meditation and the hi (rei), Students facing the teacher or sensei. Sometimes, the highest ranking or older (sempai) Are located slightly apart and welcome the sensei separately in addition to hi to everyone. The hello is done in silence and with mutual respect.

The learning sessions usually start (even if not codified) by heating (or physical training) which prepares the muscles and joints in the drive itself. We will adjust the heat to drive the ensuing emphasis on flexibility, endurance or physical strength.

Training can consist of kihon (or drill) Which consists of repeats and / or sequences of movements, learning one or more kata (codified imaginary battle against one or several opponents), assimilation of bunkai (application of kata or fighting) and finally kumite (or combat), which could be flexible (ju-kumite) To warm up and test techniques or to learn more codified taken away and combat tactics (ippon kumite, Sambon kumite, Gohon kumite, Pinan kumite, oyo kumite).
