There are various attributes of karate that people
learn. Here at Shao-lin Karate of Nicholasville, the
students learn katas, short and long, sparring stances, and
torites to test for belts.
SPARRING
There are times when you spar against other people. Before
the sparring starts the two opponents must bow to the main
judge and to each other. The idea is to score the required
amount of points before the other person does. A point is
scored when someone is hit in the stomach, back, or on the
top of the head. Hitting the face is not permitted. Of
course, the opponents do not try to hurt one another. Once a
point is scored the sparring is stopped and the judges tell
which person they saw score. Usually, for lower belts,
sparring goes to three points and to five points for upper
belts.
STAR BLOCK
Up, in, out, touch, down, back, knife hand.
DOUBLE STAR BLOCK
(Both hands) Up, in, out, touch, down, back, claw.
SELF-DEFENSE TORITES - Torites are
self-defense moves. There are many of these and they are
important to learn. If someone punches at you, shakes their
fist, grabs you from behind, or tries to hit you on the
head, these are the skills that will keep them from hurting
you badly.

SPARRING TECHNIQUES- A sparring stance is
basically a regular fighting stance. You do not square your
body in this stance. This stance requires you keep your
knees bent with one arm blocking your side and the other
blocking your face. Don't block it so much that you can't
see. There are 20 total sparring stances you must know to
get your black belt.
