Practical Karate for Life Situations

          In today's world, who needs to study martial arts? Maybe those persons who are looking for values that is missing in their lives, such as self-confidence, a sense of well-being or respect for themselves through personal accomplishment. Martial arts can assist people in attaining these goals, as well as being a method of developing a better level of physical fitness. 

          The primary goal of a study of karate is to learn self-defense. As a result of learning to effectively defend ourselves, we find ourselves less fearful in our day-to-day lives. As our fears lessen, our confidence grows and we gain a better outlook on our lives in general, thus, we are more at ease in our environment and with ourselves. We don’t feel the need to prove ourselves, because we are secure in our ability to defend ourselves. 

          Karate isn't for everybody, and the way that I teach it isn't for everybody, either. However, if you just want a really solid ability in self-defense and positive attitude, I can make that happen for you in just a few months. As hard as it may sound, self-defense is the easy part! Your first step is to just email me or call and talk to me. I'll answer all of your questions, and if you want, you are welcome to come watch what we do and ask more questions. 

          If you don’t like what we are doing that’s fine. At least you took the time to visit and listen to what I have to say. If you like what we do and decide to study at our club then, we can talk about what is involved in getting you started. I only allow people to study with me if they are serious and we are compatible as teacher and student. I will be totally honest with you and respect the decision you make.

          Gichin Funakoshi, who is considered the Father of modern day karate, said it best: 

"The ultimate goal lies not in winning a thousand battles, but in avoiding a single conflict."
