Arashi Dojo - Sh*to Ryu Hatano Juku

Children love to play. We also enjoy to parcitipate with them.

Children's passion. As an adult, maintaining the playful mind might be a challenge. Being with them, teaching them, we also learn so much.

*toryukarate

We enjoy training seriously. Not because we imagine ourselves as warriors, but because we respect the art entrusted to us.

As modern adults, we do not live the life of warriors, nor can we train for the purposes that warriors once trained for. Yet we can approach practice with sincerity, discipline, and humility.

In our dojo, we follow the Sh*tō-ryū tradition transmitted through Mabuni Kenei, Hatano Yoshiharu, and Terada Shigehiro Senseis. Each of these masters, from a different perspective, points toward the same ideal: Kunshi no Ken — the Fist of the Noble.

Power without arrogance. Technique without vanity. Dedication without pretension.

So we strike the shields, refine our kicks, and challenge ourselves—not to become fighters, but to become better practitioners and better people. One practice at a time.

Encouraging children to practice meditation. They are progressing very well with it!

Every training, we endeavour to carry out our best. We know we are still not "there", but we are on are way, on our path. Datsuryoku.

How do you understand maai in your own trianing? We've love to hear your thoughts.
