Every Saturday 10am~12pm – All Styles and Levels Welcome
I come to you with only Karate, empty hands. I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles or my honor, should it be a matter or life or death, or right or wrong, then here are my weapons, Karate, My empty hands.
Words from Shorin-Ryu Karate Association – The Soul of Karate
Thoughts from Sensei Gary
-
Martial Arts begins and ends with courtesy. It is practiced by virtuous Men and Women.
-
Avoid physical conflict if possible. If an aggressor wants personal belonging such as money, car keys, shopping bag; give these material items up. “What is important is that you survive the confrontation for your family’s sake”. Also, if there is a potential for conflict over a parking space or auto accident: Say “I am sorry” or “I don’t want any trouble.” Don’t engage unless forced to. But if conflict is unavoidable – then there are no rules in the street.
-
Karateka Spirit – To always seek improvement through committed effort.
-
Three areas for constant improvement – The three legged stool (Strength + Flexibility + Endurance)
-
Movement and Space are your ally.
