There are ten techniques that an orange belt Karateka needs to be proficient in to advance to the next level. These are to be performed starting in a back stance. The first six techniques start with a defensive move followed by a counter attack, whereas the last four start with an attack using the scissor kick.

The previous blog was on the slap kick. In this blog, let's look at techniques for orange belts. For a Karateka to learn the basics of each belt, they need to be proficient with a set of techniques before they get to the next level. These techniques are a combination of stances, blocks, punches, kicks, strikes, sweeps, etc.
In this episode, we will learn the basic techniques necessary for an orange belt Karateka. The ones we discuss in this blog are to be done in a back-stance position. Read and understand the sequence of moves carefully.
1. Slide front leg to forward stance, down block, same hand inner forearm block, same hand back fist strike, and move forward with knife hand block
2. Slide front to forward stance, upper block, same hand outer forearm block, same hand back fist strike, and move forward with knife hand block
3. Slide front leg to forward stance, down block, same hand inner forearm block, reverse punch, front kick, keep the leg forward, and knife hand block
4. Slide front leg to forward stance, upper block, same hand outer forearm block, reverse punch, side kick, keep the leg forward, and knife hand block
5. Slide front leg to forward stance, down block, punch, slide the same leg to back stance, inner forearm block, move forward, horse stance, and hammer fist strike
6. Slide front leg to forward stance, upper block, punch, slide the same leg to back stance, outer forearm block, move forward, horse stance, and hammer fist strike
7. Scissor-move front kick, switch to forward stance, down block, reverse punch, switch back to back stance, sweep and knife hand block
8. Scissor-move side kick, switch to forward stance, upper block, reverse punch, switch back to back stance, sweep and knife hand block

10. Scissor-move slap kick, back stance, outer forearm block, forward stance, reverse punch, switch to back stance, sweep and knife hand block
As you’ve observed, the first six techniques start with a defensive move followed by a counter attack, But from the seventh technique onwards, you start with an attacking kick, specifically the scissor kicks. All the techniques are to be done in a forward moving position and in a backward moving position.
The techniques aim at building basic defence and counterattack capabilities in a Karateka. With the moves you have learnt in this blog, it's time to practice, practice, and practice until you get them right. Our next blog will be on Kata Heian Shodan.
