THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR PROGRAM: PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our programs are structured to develop positive “character” traits that reinforce strong family values. Integrity is the key ingredient to our success! Our programs build your “SELF” image with goal oriented objectives. Working towards, and reaching these goals, will boost one’s self-esteem. It is extremely important to balance self-confidence with humility… We strive to instill confidence, not cockiness. Each student is taught to be a role model and must lead by example. We help you harness your personal power. A student’s progression in the martial arts is largely based on a good attitude and positive thinking. We instill discipline to help achieve superior mental focus. To achieve a winning mindset, our classes embrace the three “D’s” Desire, Determination, and Dedication.
KARATE BEGINS AND ENDS WITH RESPECT
Karate is based on an ideology of courtesy. Students must learn the value of respect. The repeated act of bowing reinforces self-respect, the respect of authority, and earning the respect of one’s peers. At our dojo, there is no religious or subservience significance involved in bowing. It is a traditional custom associated with Japanese martial arts and culture, and should be viewed as a demonstration of respect for the art and one another.
SELF-CONTROL & SELF-DEFENSE
All personal goals are accomplished while developing skills of self-protection that could potentially save the life of a loved one. Karate teaches powerful techniques including: punches, kicks, strikes, and blocks. However, these skills are reinforced with a serious sense of responsibility. We teach students self-control to refrain from violent behavior. The use of karate is always a last resort, as we teach there is NO attack in karate. Karate begins and ends with a block, upholding the concept of “self-defense.” Martial Arts is a dynamic full body workout. Students will benefit from improved concentration, coordination, & speed. You will feel more energized with increased power, and endurance. It is a great way to build stamina and improve reflexes while relieving stress in your life.
TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVE MORE
We emphasize the importance of good sportsmanship and teamwork through competition. Tournaments encourage a spirit of loyalty, pride, commitment, and camaraderie. Although we have produced thousands of champions in the ring, ultimately a student’s success is not based on winning or losing a match. Real success is measured by setting goals and overcoming obstacles. Victory is defined when years of preparation meet the right opportunity. Winning a tournament only lasts a moment, but believing in yourself and having the perseverance to self-improve lasts a lifetime.
THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION
There is no secret to achieve a black belt or become proficient in karate. It takes years of consistent practice and training. The perfection of both your technique and character is defined by a strong work ethic. The physical and mental training will give you the peace of mind to achieve greater success at your job, school, or personal life. The lessons learned through karate can take ordinary people and transform them into extraordinary leaders.
