       MATSUBAYASHI RYU - KIHON

       Kihon is a Japanese term meaning "basics" or "fundamentals".
       The term is used to refer to the basic techniques that are taught and practiced as
       the foundation of most Japanese martial arts. The practice and mastery of kihon is
       essential to all advanced training. At the simple level this would include stances,
       punches, kicks, blocks, and thrusts but also includes basic representative kata.

       Kihon techniques tend to be practiced often, in many cases during each practice
       session. They are considered fundamental to mastery and improvement of all
       movements of greater complexity.
