I hope you meant the three branches in the sense of practice session. During a practice session, the three branches are.

  1. Kihon- Teaching basic techniques
  2. Kata- An organized set of techniques that are performed to understand the application
  3. Kumite- Fighting practice involving karate techniques.

That would depend on how you split it up. You could divide them up as Okinawa, Japan and Korea based on their primary country. Or you could divide them up on the types in Okinawa, Shorin Ryu, Goju Ryu and Shito Ryu.

This could vary depending on what level you are talking about. Some consider the three branches as Okinawan, Japanese and Korean. Others look at the three main branches of Okinawan karate, where it originated, as Shorin Ryu, Shuri Te and Naha Te.
