Welcome to my TH-cam channel - Bernard Buys Karate (バーナード 空手道) where we will be training karate and everything karate related. In my videos we will focus on different aspects of karate such as kihon (basics), kata (forms) and kumite (sparring) for all belt and age levels in an easy step-by-step way to improve your karate skill level - whether it is in preparation for grading, to improve your fitness or just for an overall increase of your karate knowledge. I look forward to training with you. Please subscribe to my channel to receive regular updates of new videos.
