Kyushindo Karate is based on Japanese and Chinese martial art styles and relies on the use of movement, speed, accuracy and economy of movement. Students perform techniques which are from a set syllabus, with particular emphasis on self defence. Kyushindo is taught as a martial art, not for competition or for sport

A very brief overview of some of the techniques that are practiced at Kyushindo Karate would include:

Blocking: Ideally, attacks should be avoided or deflected, though in reality situations arise when blocks need to be used. Various blocks are taught as a defence to different attacks.

Breakfalls: At Kyushindo Highgate club, lessons take place on padded mats and students are taught takedowns, breakfalls and rolls.

Footwork: As Kyushindo depends primarily on deflection and avoidance as oppossed to meeting force with force, footwork is of utmost importance.

Locks: Restraining and release techniques are taught to students.

Pads and bag work: Students undertake punch bag and pads training. This helps to develop range, focus, accuracy and power.

Sparring: Students are taught how to spar against one and multiple opponents.

Stances: Stances are taught for stationary techniques and for moving techniques ie when sparring or for performing katas. Good stances are crucial not only for attaining balance and power but they allow for easy mobility.

Striking: These include closed and open hand techniques, punches, chops and kicks, amongst many other techniques.

Throws: A number of throws and counter throws are taught to students.
