Why traditional karate ?

Karate is a system that has evolved from the study of fighting techniques for centuries. Goju-Ryu Karate has been passed down from teacher to student for generations. Certain aspects have been preserved in their original form while others have been enhanced through studies in anatomy, kinesiology, and physics.

In the traditional Karate dojo (training place), emphasis is placed on the rigorous training of the body, the development of the mind and the enlightenment of the spirit through classical training.

 

   


Lifetime discipline for the mind & body

Karate is not only about learning how to fight somebody else in self-defense, but instead, it should be a battle against your own abilities and inhibitions, thereby helping you become better physically and spiritually. Improving in the art and achieving higher grades, gives one a sense of accomplishment and greater confidence in oneself. By setting goals and practicing continuously, one acquires a sense of building for the future, and realizes that hard work and effor are necessary for achieving one's dream. Modern life deprives us of the exercise necessary for physical and mental health. Karate is a fun and challenging way of gradually honing you into the best shape of your life.

It can be practiced at any age, does not require exceptional flexibility or natural talentm and demands no special equipment, facilities, or even other people to practice with. You can expect to lose weight, gain greater energy, and develop a strong, toned and healthier body.

Not only do you develop top-notch self-defense abilities with karate training, you fight premature aging, and enjoy a longer, healthier and more exciting life! Adult students of karate training develop a wide range of mental and spiritual characteristics. Self-confidence, control and discipliine are all qualities formed through karate training.
