Hello, all! I am complete novice to MA, and just started shito-ryu karate, had my first class Thursday. I liked it really much, however I couldn't find any useful information in WWW about actual stances, blocks and strikes. Any resources in the Internet to use as reference? I was shown two basic stances, low, medium and high blocks, punch and two or three kicks - now I have troubles remembering all this stuff. And I would like to practice them at home. Also, I was very surprised to be engaged in "kumite" (sparring) at the very first class. Is this normal for karate training?
