- Kihon- Teaching basic techniques
- Kata- An organized set of techniques that are performed to understand the application
- 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.

There are two primary schools in Japan. Shotokan was established in the 1930's by Gichin Funikoshi. Shorinji-kemp was started shortly after World War II.
