NEWSLETTERMeet 10X National Champion, Nidan Kurt Marcinkiewicz!

A common quest ion asked to instructors is “how much should I practice?” It is a unique question, as the answer is different for most people. Some students may need to practice more than others, especially if they have recently missed class. Find the time to practice at least a few times a week and if your s t i l l ha v ing d i f f i cu l ty remembering your moves, try to squeeze some ext ra practice time in. If you forget a move when practicing, make sure you a sk your instructors the next karate c l a s s . And remember : practicing isn’t just about remember the moves but also about improving the overall quality of your techniques. Even if you can remember the moves without practicing, you should take time to increase the proficiency of the things you already know.
