How to Teach Yourself the Basics of Karate
Tips

Never under-estimate, or over-estimate an opponent. The more you're sure you can defeat/be defeated by them, the less/more likely that outcome will occur.
When kicking: straight kicks may use the ball of the foot or the heel, keep your toes back or they might be damaged; side kicks always use the blade of your foot or the heel; ax kicks always strike with the heel (but this is an uncommon kick for most); round-house kicks may strike with the shin, top or ball of the foot. Round kicks with the shin may be particularly effective.
You may want to try meditating at the beginning of the workout. This way your mind will be clear and ready to workout without getting your body warmed up and then have it cool down while you sit motionless meditating.
Be sure to replace any of your worn or damaged martial arts sparring gear. Your safety should come first in all of your karate studies.
Take pride in your appearance! Be sure to keep a fresh supply of karate uniforms on hand.
Always stay calm and peaceful in a fight, respect your opponent, and never underestimate them, for they can defeat you much easier if you do so.
When punching, stay relaxed until just before you hit your target. Bruce Lee says, "Relaxation is essential for faster and more powerful punching. Let your lead punch shoot out loosely and easily; do not tighten up or clench your fist until the moment of impact. All punches should end with a snap several inches behind the target. Thus, you punch through the opponent instead of at him."
When fighting/sparring, maintain eye contact with your opponent at all times.
Be confident when sparring. During training with someone, focus on punching and kicking.
Make sure you have good and strong control over your lower body.

Warnings

When blocking a kick or punch from a sparring opponent, always remember to clench your fist tightly or you may break your own hand on their kick.
Remember your sparring partner is real, not a punching bag. Safety gear is advised and always be careful.
Always stretch, and stretch everything. Pulling a muscle or snapping a tendon is excruciatingly painful!
