C&S Self Defense Association

          What exactly is C&S Self Defense Association and why, and what are we doing?  C&S Self Defense Association is an established and recognized organization to promote and spread the teachings of good, sound Karate instruction.  By being a member of C&S Self Defense Association, you can be sure that your instruction is of the highest quality, designed to develop you to your fullest potential.  This is, of course, due to the rigid standards that every C&S Self Defense Association instructor must meet, and continue to meet each year, if they are to become and remain certified instructors in the Association.

          C&S Self Defense Association uses a unique method of instruction based on a count or number system.  Through diligence in practicing the many drills taught by the Association based on this system, the student can become familiar and competent with a wide variety of material.

          Of course, the goal of every student of Karate is to someday develop himself to a level such that he may, in some way, render assistance to his fellow man.  This requires that the student must first help himself, for one cannot help another do something he himself has no experience in doing.  It is the function, then, of the C&S Self Defense Association instructor to be the focal point of the student's search for knowledge of himself.

          First, we must meet and deal with problems of the body -- the physical aspects of the person -- because by using the body as a tool, we can reach the mind and develop awareness of self and environment.  Second, by sharpening the body, we also sharpen the mind, for is it not the mind that ultimately controls the body?  This is a long and rewarding journey.

          We welcome you to C&S Self Defense Association as one who has shown the courage to do something very positive to develop yourself into a better, more confident individual.  You have taken the first step; we are here to help you.

Sincerely,

All in the C&S Self Defense Association Family
