Training  

Before technical study begins, there's a proper stage of physical training, which is varied and complete. This sort of training aims at developing resistance, power, agility, flexibility, action-reaction skills and tolerance to pain.

Techniques  
Techniques are supposed to be studied both separately and linked together in long sequences called kata. Each sequence specializes on certain technical skills and on different kinds of orientation in space. Particularly in katas you can study how energy flows from one place to the other. There are 73:000 different techniques with or without weapons (i.e.say, rekeyma sword, nunchkoo ), divided in different levels of learning.
