An answer to a popular question…
Many of you have asked, “What is the meaning of the Kanji on our under rank certificates?” Well, just about everyone knows the kanji for Fist law, China (empty) hand method; Ch’uan Fa (Kempo) Karate, but many people have inquired about the writing in the border of our certificates.
A poem by the father of modern Karate, the founder of Shotokan Karate-Do; Gichin Funakoshi entitled “Karate-Do”, and in it he references the Taoist principle of “The Way”, something that has always intrigued me.
So here it is, with it’s English translation, enjoy!
Only one way to pass it on straight and well ladies and gentlemen….
Get back on the mat.
Thank you for your votes!
Thank you to all those that voted for us, and helped us win for the second year in a row!
Best Local Martial Arts
Best Martial Arts, period.
That’s why we’ve been serving the community for so long. That’s why we’ll be here for so much longer. There is a reason why people drive past a hundred other Karate schools to take classes with us, if you haven’t yet, come in and find out for yourself. Although all training is good training (as long as you are actually getting what you need out of your lessons), if you want to learn how to survive if you need to, whether you are a child or adult we will see you here on the mat.
Take the first step today, come in and try a free class. See why law enforcement, military, personal bodyguards, security and peace officers as well as parents of school children seek us out, and stay. No contracts necessary.
Now get back on the mat…
Full gi season is almost upon us!
It’s that time of year…Starting October 1st all students are required to wear full gi (uniform) to class everyday. Please understand that although we understand that things happen and we know and love you all, if you show up without your gi top, we will ask you to come to class another day.
Gi top not clean?…Still in the wash?…Dog ate it?…Ninja’s invaded your hamper and hid it on you?…please come in another day. We offer classes six days a week for all age groups for many reasons, so if for any reason you show up without your full uniform you have several days to choose from!
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend
