Mental Attitude: Purpose of Karate-do - please read before you start -

 

Top    back   next

 

心得:初めてのかたに

 

"The ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of the participant" - Gichin Funakoshi, founder of shotokan karate -

 

「空手道修行の究極の目的は、相手を打ち負かすのでも、または勝つためにでもあるのではなく、修業を通じての人格完成に、その意味を見いだすことにある」船越儀珍

 

 

道場訓 DOJO KUN (precepts of karate-do):

 

一つ、人格完成に務むること。      Seek perfection of character.

Hitotu Jinkaku Kansei-ni Tsutomuru-koto

一つ、誠の道を守ること。        Be faithful.

Hitotu Makoto-no Michi-o Mamoru-koto

一つ、努力の精神を養うこと。      Endeavor.

Hitotu Doryoku-no Sei-shin-o Yshinau-koto

一つ、礼儀を重んずること。       Respect others.

Hitotu Reigi-o Omon-zuru--koto

一つ、血気の勇を戒むること。      And refrain from violent behavior.

Hitotu Kekki-no Yuu-o Imashi-muru-koto

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT IS "DO"?

 

Top    back   next

 

  "Do", means "the way". Karate practice allows the participant to develop  character and learn to live by following the "dojo kun". It also develops both  mental and physical stamina. However, it is very important that the student never  gives up, but persists, no matter what the situation may be. Without an earnest  effort, without perseverance, the student will never understand the true spirit of  karate.

 

 

 

 

KARATE PRACTICE CONSISTS OF THREE MAJOR TYPES OF EXERCISES:     

 

Top    back   next

 

Kihon (basics)  The elementary building blocks of karate: stance, posture, coordinated body  movement, and concentration upon the opponent. These provide a sound  foundation. If the basics are strong, it is easy to develop more advanced techniques.

 

Kata (form) A pre-arranged sequence of techniques and movements simulating combat against  multiple imaginary opponents. This specialized method of training is a rational  extension of basics, offering situations in which certain attacks and defenses  would be applicable. Kata is performed solo or in precision teams, and offers  practice in combinations of techniques, focus and release of tension, breath  control, and rhythm. Each level of karate study has its prescribed kata that trains  the student, mentally and physically, for the next more advanced level.

 

Kumite (sparring)  As with kata, each level of training has its prescribed method of sparring, from the formal five or three-step sparring of the basic level (when the targets and  attacker/defender are pre-arranged), to the free sparring of the most advanced  level (when the participants themselves act/react spontaneously with attacks/blocks, using timing, distance, and strategy. But always, the attack is arrested just before body contact is made, requiring extreme body control and  mental discipline.

 

 

 

BEGINNERS

 

Top    back   next

 

There is a one-month beginner's course offered at the beginning of each calendar month.  This class meets three times a week for one hour. A uniform is not required for  beginners; they may practice in a loose fitting and body concealing clothes (i.e. T-shirt  and sweatpants). Upon completion of the beginner's course, the student may practice up  to six days per week in either the intermediate or combination classes; a uniform is then  mandatory.

 

 

 

FEES

 

Top    back   next

 

All fees are payable in advance at the beginning of each month. Please refer to the  current fee schedule. The three month discounted rate does not apply toward payments  past due. Whether the student attends one day per month, or 26, the monthly charge  remains the same. If the student does not practice at all in a given month, a $5.00 absence  fee, per month, will be charged. Monthly fees cannot be prorated: if a student joins in the  middle of a month: dues are payable again, in full, at the beginning of the next month.

The visitor's fee applies only to dues paying members of other Japan Karate Association dojos who are visiting Manhattan and wish to practice. This is a per class charge.

 

 

 

 

EXAMINATIONS

 

Top    back   next

 

Kyu ranking examinations are held every three months. You will be tested on kihon, kata,  and kumite appropiate for your level, and covered in class.

 

 

 

 

DOJO ETIQUETTE

 

Top    back   next

 

Bow when you enter and leave the dojo, dressing room and floor.

Students must be on time. Being late is disrespectful to the instructor and to your fellow  students.

Uniforms must be clean and in good condition. Feet must be clean. Toenails and fingernails must be kept short in order to avoid injury to yourself and to others. No  jewelry (rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, etc.) may be worn.

No colored headbands are permitted; only white.

No powder is to be used in the dojo as tracking it onto the floor creates a hazard.

There is no eating or drinking in the dojo.

Female students must have sewn ties to fasten the uniform in front. T-shirts are not part  of the uniform.
