This study addresses the challenges faced by karate instructors in mastering kihon techniques, the lack of print resources systematically discussing basic techniques, and the limited variety of training models for beginner karateka. Using a research and development (R&D) method with both quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis, the study aims to create a structured approach to karate training. The results highlight the creation of a training model that systematically organizes kihon techniques and offers various training methods for instructors to apply. Findings show high validation scores across several groups: the karate instructor validation in small groups scored 90.00%, confirming the content, presentation, and relevance to children's needs. The media expert validation in small groups was 87.05%, showing the clarity and usability of the media. The effectiveness test in small groups yielded a score of 85.66%, reflecting improved basic karate skills in children post-training. In larger groups, the karate expert validation scored 91.38%, ensuring technical and pedagogical consistency, while the media expert validation scored 91.16%, indicating ease of access and understanding. The large group effectiveness test yielded 90.00%, confirming the model's ability to improve basic karate motor skills across a wider population. © 2026 by the authors.
