Mythbuster Monday:
When most people think of Karate they think the end goal is black belt. Seasoned karate practitioners know that black belt isn’t the end, it’s the beginning. To emphasize this, here are a few of our dedicated black belts who we asked how long they've been training after they earned their Shodan.

Master of the Month:
Kanga "Tode" Sakugawa (1733–1815)
If you trace the roots of modern Karate back to its Okinawan source, you will inevitably run straight into Master Kanga Sakugawa. Known famously as "Tode" (Chinese Hand) Sakugawa, he was a monumental bridge between ancient Chinese combat arts and indigenous Okinawan Te. He traveled to China multiple times to study Ch'uan Fa (Kung Fu), famously training under Kusanku (the inspiration behind the foundational Kanku-dai kata). Sakugawa is credited with introducing the concept of the Dojo Kun—the traditional rules of conduct and character development that guide karatekas worldwide to this day. His most famous student was none other than Bushi Matsumura, who went on to train the masters who shaped Shorin-ryu, Shotokan, Sh*to-ryu, and more.
Every time you bow onto the mat or practice a kata you are participating in a lineage he helped build.

So we hear that AI is stealing jobs… we’d like to see it try!
We asked...What sound does it make when you kick a bag?
We asked some men around the dojo why they started their karate journey! What do you think of their stories?
Hanshi recently gave an assignment to the Black Belts: have 5 go to techniques to use for self defense. We decided to go around and poll some black belts and put it to the test.
