Karate Buddy vs Karate Kata Step By Step

Karate Buddy is a unique training aid designed by fighters for fighters. The app will transform your Kumite. • Karate Buddy is great for solo training; it provides creativity and pushes you. • Karate Buddy is the ultimate workout timer. • It allows you to randomise your work periods; gives directional commands; number commands in both English and Japanese; and has a randomised bleep function. • Devised by WKF Champion Paul Newby and voiced by Karate Legend: Matt Price. • Karate Buddy is great for 1-2-1 coaching as it allows you to focus on the student and drills rather than counting the commands. • Karate Buddy is great for dojo training for the very same reasons, it tells the group what to do while you coach! • Karate Buddy is great for developing your fitness because you are not in charge of when you do something, you cannot rest unless Karate Buddy lets you! “I have had years where I had to train by myself, and good training partners, they’re hard to find, this is why I created Karate Buddy” - Paul Newby BKF Olympic Coach and Former WKF World Champion
