Tora Karate Club Quebec

Tora is no longer offering classes due to changes by the Quebec government.
Thanks to all of the students and parents who supported Tora over the many years.

"When should I use my karate?" is a question I have been asked many times over my years of teaching. My response is "All the time." I was recently able to show a student what I meant by that. In my other life, I'm a professional musician and was about to step onto a large stage. My student and their parent stopped by and asked if I was nervous. The parent lightly thumped his chest looking at me wondering if my heart was beating fast. "Yes to both questions" That's when I told them I was using my karate right then. The truth is, you will rarely use physical defence and attack movements that you learn but the mental and physical discipline aspect of karate or any other martial arts can always be drawn upon. The instant I got up on stage, I went into "Go" mode the same way I used to for tournaments. I tell my students that you're never going to feel fearless, you're just going to learn what to do with it.

Wishing all the moms out in Facebook land a very happy and special Mother's Day! You do so much behind the scenes that your kids don't see; the organizing, the agonizing over decisions of how much to incrementally let them go as they grow.
All this while showing unconditional love, no matter the circumstance or time of day.
Moms... you rock this world!
