Osu!

When we start karate, everyone has a different reason for joining. For some it is to be strong and win tournaments, some people for self defense, for others it's for health reasons. For me, I want to help each person reach their goal, whatever it is.

However karate is not only about reaching your goals, it is about exceeding your limits. As a teacher I also see the goal as making each student into a better person. If I see that a student is very powerful but their thinking isn't right and they're using their power in a wrong way then I feel it's my responsibility to correct them.

We must challenge ourselves everyday...by learning respect, different techniques or by fighting other people and by sweating... These are the stepping stones. I believe that in making a strong mind, body and health you also make a better person.

Osu!
