Karate is also a way of life, a way of being. A karate-ka deals fully with the present moment, being totally absorbed in one action only. A true karate-ka seeks balance and harmony in his or her life; the karate-ka develops a strong body and spirit so as to better serve others. The principles and values of karate, such as patience, concentration, respect and courtesy are completely transferable and universally applicable to our daily life in business and at home. |

Karate is a martial art, with its own unique history, philosophy and set of techniques. Karate can be practiced in the dojo or outdoors. It can be practiced in the hot sun or the deep snow. Each season gives its own flavor to karate training, and each season imposes its own challenges to our physical and mental abilities.
