Jmma Karate Center

Why were the samurai's homes so beautiful?
In their time of battle they had to fight and kill in a intimate way. Most did not have fire arms. The samurai believed in balance. They studied the art of killing but also the art of living. The dark and the light.
Through all the ugly sounds and the things they saw in battle, they sought out peace at home. Most called this Zen. Their homes were a sanctuary. In Karate and other arts that could potentially become violent. Zen is just as important to our studies. Zen can come in many forms,
Poetry, music, beautiful gardens, etc. For me l practice (ZEN) peace in my faith in Jesus Christ.

Highly recommend.

The need to protect oneself has been around since the beginning of time. Some systems of martial arts have been around for a few hundred years. The techniques have been around before most systems. The Art is always growing and changing with time. Protect your spirit first, then mind, and body. After that you may be able to protect the ones that you love.
