On October 25, hundreds of practitioners in Okinawa gather in Naha to celebrate World Karate Day (空手の日), demonstrating kata together in unity across all Okinawan styles.

Kagite practice. The first chart that our beginners learn includes a hooking hand block that is common to all Okinawan styles, kagite. Found in the Passai kata, kagite can be applied as a hook (as the name implies) to twist, pull, pulsate, poke and more. It is used in tandem with the other hand. | Original Okinawa Karate Iha Dojo
