Karate is a way of life...
Practiced through training the body and mind, self-control, and discpline
Japanese karate is based on Bushido. In true karate, the body, mind and spirit, the whole person must be developed simultaneously. We can perform the techniques without thinking about them, and remain focused without having to concentrate on any one thing. In essence, the body remembers how to move and the mind remembers how to be still. The result of true karate is natural, effortless action, and the confidence, humility, openness and peace only possible through perfect unity of mind and body. This is the core teaching of Zen, the basis of Bushido, and the of the JKA’s karate philosophy.
