Why Karate?
Confidence
Confidence. By training in karate, you know that you can handle anything that comes your way. Because you have overcome challenges in the dojo and performed at your best, you are building or conditioning your confidence, making it stronger with every class. You are training yourself to focus and perform under pressure, no matter the situation. Nowhere else will you find something that for generations has proven to build confidence in a safe, fun and family environment. Karate is a path to being your best.
Discipline
Karate is an excellent way to build physical health and self discipline. In every class, doing the hard things build discipline and self reliance in a way no other sport can. Wearing your uniform with pride, setting your goals and achieving stripes and belts create a lifelong pathway to discipline and success.
Focus
.Karate practice is not just about training the body, but also about training the mind. Not only will you move but it also develops focus and skills for concentration. By learning how to concentrate and focus during karate class, you will develop the skill to move this focus into all areas of life.
Emotional Control
As karate helps you to become more aware of your needs and communicate and articulate them, you will find strength in owning and taking control of your emotions. Whether you have had a great day and you are looking forward to a big workout or you have had an emotionally charged day and are looking for lighter training, you will be able to connect with your emotions and advocate for the best training for yourself and your current state of mind and body.
Black Belt Goal
Setting the goal to achieve your black belt is not just about the belt, but rather about developing karate habits and lifestyle; this is where the magic happens; lifelong learning, advocating for what’s best for you, goal setting, continuous self improvement, demanding and giving respect. This is the Black Belt.
Leadership and Responsibility
Leadership development happens organically in karate. Students assist each other with new skills and learning, then progress to assisting in classes and eventually are able to teach. One of the great gifts of sport is leadership skill. According to Billy Jean King, some 94% of women CEOs in Canada were involved in sport. In sport, we learn to lead.
