Karate builds confidence, creates physical fitness routines, develops a sense of situational awareness and respect with boundaries for one another. Karate helps us find a sense of calm in chaotic situations by training ourselves to not only to react but also be preemptive in our approaches. The lessons learned in the dojo do not only apply to sport and traditional karate but to different aspects of our lives as well.
We are a shotokan karate style dojo with JKA fundamentals. We study kihon to enhance our kata. We study kata to enhance our kumite. We study kumite to enhance our kihon.
We cycle through these pillars in order to build a strong foundation for our karate.
Karate is a martial art. There is a beauty in the balance that we strive for in our basics and forms. Our karate however, must also be functional. Tournaments are a great way to test our skills beyond our dojo mates. We continue to push ourselves to new heights with no ego or bias.
