“Karate-do strives internally to train the mind to develop a clear conscience, enabling one to face the world honestly, while externally developing strength to the point where one may overcome even ferocious wild animals. Mind and technique become one in true karate.” ~ Gichin Funakoshi 🥋
To all students: enjoy the remainder of the summer off and we'll see you back and stronger than ever on September 9.
Morning! Today we are going to teach BUNKAI (the application of Kata), so you're ready for grading on July 22 🥋
This is a friendly reminder that we are closed for the Victoria Day Long Weekend and that GRADING is on July 22 for those who qualify.
All students need to practice diligently and intensively to ensure all kata and techniques are performed with attention to detail, accuracy, power, sharpness, speed and control.
Check out this video on how to practice effectively according to science: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-sjUoGO250&ab_channel=Sprouts.
Those who are going for green belts and higher will especially be held to very high standards.
Success is a choice and it depends on how much effort you put in!
Have a wonderful long weekend and see you next week!
Sensei Neil and team
