The different disciplines of karate

Answer 1

That may vary based on your school, but our four primary ones are:

1. Front Stance
2. Back Stance
3. Long Front Stance
4. Horse Stance - Kibadachi

We also use

• Cat Stance
• Naihanchi Stance

Answer 2

Usually, four. The fighting stance, the front stance, the back stance, and the Kibadachi, or horse stance. Depending upon your definition of "basic", this may or may not also include a cat stance.

It will depend on the style of karate. We learn the front stance and back stance first. Kibadachi is usually taught as a part of warm ups. Naihanchi stance would be the next, then crooked cat and long front stance.

Answer 3

There are many different disciplines of karate. There are two many to mention. However they all come down to same same purpose, the way of the warrior. (bushido)
