We train you in basic techniques, and terminology. Your katas will come from various Karate styles - Shotokan, Goju Ryu, and Shito Ryu.

Please understand, the purpose of this course is not for the purpose of Sport Karate, but rather the Okinawan purpose of "Self-Defense", Discipline and Internal Harmony. These youtube videos will give you some history:

My goal is for you to learn the essence of Okinawan Basics. Therefore, I promote good instruction and teaching of fellow Black belt instructors of different Okinawan styles. One must remember Karate was developed by a handful of Okinawan Masters who knew each other and trained together. Variations between styles is noticeable to the trained eye. You, as a beginner, must be focused on repetition. Spending time coaching you, thru live streaming sessions and the KarateKlinic.com course, is more important than making more videos for YouTube. Hanshi Bill Woodard will promote those of you who are on the Belt Rank Kata Certification program as a member of the NKKF. Those who enjoy the exercise and discipline can simply "Train with me" once you have mastered your basics in the KarateKlinic.com course via Zoom.
