"The ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the characters of its participants."- Gichin Funakoshi


 

Discipline



A word about "discipline", a term many younger people today have little acquaintance with. Compared to other schools you may visit, you will note that we emphasize discipline in our dôjô. You will also note that it is, for the most part, self -discipline. You should also be cognizant of the fact that, because of this discipline, dôjô injuries are almost non-existent.

Remember, the martial in martial arts is another word for military. Every technique is designed to kill or cripple an opponent and, without proper discipline, we would quickly run out of students.
