Focusing On What Matters
So last week in class I was really stressing to our members here at Ocala Karate & Fitness, www.ocalashinbukan.com , the importance of focusing on our self defense drills. One of the advantages to learning Okinawan Karate is the intense focus on Self Defense for Personal Safety. Okinawan Karate is not centered around Sport Karate, which has really influenced most other forms of Karate today.
"House Of The Holy Art"
The Okinawans believed in building 3 characteristics in their people. Strong, bodies, strong minds, and strong spirit. These three fundamental and essential traits that are strengthened through our training, build stronger, more confident, and healthier people. By utilizing the Shorin Ryu Training basics in our Karate classes, our members continue to develop these important traits that lead to the “perfection of character”
And Self Defense training is imperative to everyone in todays world. It doesn’t take long if you turn on the T.V. to find some horribly violent crime, or abduction. This is why its so important to start building the foundation in which an effective Self Defense program can be built. We’ll talk more on this subject in our next post. Until then, train hard in our classes and focus on the key elements that form the building blocks to a healthy, confident person.
