Risen from the deep dark depths of godaddy, we have revived the karate website in the hopes to keep you informed for current students and to showcase who we are for new and interested students!
Many traditional Dojos will have rules to live by that are set by each style (Ryu). From the Shito-Ryu Genbukai Dojo Kun we have adopted:
Hitotsu...Rei setsu o omon zuru koto - Be courteous in your manners
Hitotsu...Tadashii okoro o motte seiken to suru koto - Have a strong sense of justice
Hitotsu...Kageki naru gen do kooi o tsutsushimu koto - Be responsible for your words and actions
Hitotsu... Ai shinji te wasuru koto - Respect one another
Hitotsu...kyu do no seishi o oko ta zaru koto - Karate-do is the way of the spirit to give you courage and ambition to reach your goals as part of your life
