While it might be okay to train at home by yourself, it would be wise to enroll in a karate school or academy.

Enrolling in a karate school or academy also known as a dojo, you get to use the karate equipment that is provided by the school and you get an added bonus of having an instructor who will teach you the right moves to get good in karate.

Your use of the karate equipment usually ranges on how far you have advanced in the level of karate lessons. The one way to know is by the use of the belts you get after each level you pass. If your belt is yellow, then that is the first stage and you are still warming up to advance to the next stage. Then there is red which is followed by green and then brown and finally black.

Once you have qualified to the red usually you start with light equipment and once you have advanced to the green you start using the equipment more and more in the end you will be breaking wood and using all kinds of equipments necessary.
