Kihon - "foundation, basis, standard"

In addition to the above, it can also be said that Dojo Etiquette is a fourth element, however Dojo Etiquette should encapsulate your whole Karate training through Kihon, Kata and Kumite.

Kihon - Basic or Fundamental movements (On your own)
Kihon enables Karateka to learn and practice the fundamental techniques of Shotokan Karate in a structured manner. Most Kihon is performed in linear fashion, stepping forwards or backwards as the techniques & combination dictate.

As the level and experience of the Karateka increases, as does the complexity & degree of difficulty of the techniques they are required to do.
