This article analyzes the multi-phase structure of technical and tactical preparation in karate, analyzing how each stage contributes to the formation of a complete athlete. From foundational skill development to high-level strategic execution, the stages of preparation reflect a progression that must be synchronized with physical, cognitive, and psychological growth. Drawing upon studies in sports science, martial arts pedagogy, and coaching practice, the article outlines a detailed and practical framework for long-term karate training.
