Who should do Karate
Karate especially “Budo” karate that we practice is for everyone, young and old across all cultures. It is a way of life and can be practiced for a whole lifetime. Budo’s purpose is to benefit life in general — and it is a lifelong pursuit.
With our training comes the idea that we need to be good people and productive members of society. Because without that, we could become very effective bullies or villains. Most importantly, when we have control of ourselves (each, our own “self”), we are most able to help others.
Of course karate has many benefits, some people practice karate to keep fit, others for the obvious self-defence, others do it for the competitive side to get colours or represent the country on a sporting level and some simply for the comradery and fun.
Our dojos are very family orientated and although we do have many families training with us we are one big karate family following traditional morals, values and ways to better our lives and those around us.
