AwardWithin these pages, you will discover traditional karate;
along the way, perhaps many of your own beliefs about karate will
be confronted. You might have a body capable of mastering karate s
physical techniques, but do you have a mind with a level of
awareness that is able to grasp the true spirit of karate? For
adults only. Regardless of how many people you can defeat in
combat, the deeper aim of karate has always been to conquer your
own ego, and by doing so, you increase the likelihood of avoiding
conflict. When you can control your ego, you have a chance to
establish peace in your life: this is the tradition of budo karate.
Shin Gi Tai has a literal translation: mind technique body. A
karate-ka s mind (shin) must be developed ahead of his technique
(gi) if he is to discover a sense of balance within his body (tai).
While the mental and physical aspects of karate are daunting and
causes many to stop training, if you can just endure the early
years, say - the first decade - then there is opportunity for real
and lasting benefits. Budo is a concept more often discussed than
put into practice, and yet, as part of traditional karate training,
it has the capacity to dramatically change lives for the better,
but only if you are prepared to move past the obvious and strive to
understand the philosophy and the morality of budo. Your life is
yours, your karate is yours, accept ownership of both and reap
countless rewards.
