Kumite (陪練) ：對招是與夥伴一起練習空手道技巧。該課程將側重於基本 (五步或三步) 搏鬥與預先安排的攻擊和防禦。由於 COVID-19 的情況，將只教授社交距離、非接觸式對打技巧。

"The ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but the perfection of the character of its participant." -- Gichin Funakoshi, Father of Shotokan Karate

About the class: This class offers training in traditional Shotokan karate-do (or “the way of karate”). Karate practice allows the student to develop their character, mental and physical stamina, and follow the dojo kun (principles of karate-do):

● Seek perfection of character.

● Be faithful.

● Endeavor.

● Respect others.

● Refrain from violent behavior.

Karate practice: Each class will cover three types of exercises -

Kihon (basics): Kihon are the elementary building blocks of karate, including stance, posture, body movements, and power. These elements are the foundation for developing more advanced techniques.

Kata (forms): Each kata is a pre-arranged sequence, simulating combat against multiple opponents. Kata allow students to practice different combinations of techniques and learn to develop power, breathing control, and rhythm.

Kumite (sparring): Kumite is the practice of karate techniques with a partner. The class will focus on basic (five-step or three-step) sparring with pre-arranged attacks and blocks. Due to COVID-19 conditions, only socially distanced, no-contact sparring techniques will be taught.

Dress code: Beginners may practice in either loose, body-concealing clothing (such as sweats) or the traditional gi (karate uniform). A gi is mandatory for all other students.

Students must remove glasses, watches, and any jewelry before class. Hair may be tied back with white hair-bands or headbands.

About the instructor: Sensei Bert Tzeng (曾志平), 4th-degree black belt, is a certified instructor in the Japan Karate Association (JKA) and has practiced karate for over 30 years. He is a student of Sensei Shu Takahashi, 7th degree black belt and chief instructor of Shotokan Karate-Do International, one of the JKA's main affiliates in the US.

Sensei Tzeng works at the Treasury Department and is a tax attorney by training. He is a graduate of Yale University (B.A. Economics), Columbia Law School (Juris Doctor), and NYU Law School (Master of Laws, Taxation).
