Traditional Karate is self defense, exercise (physical, coordination, balance), mental exercise (memorization, strategy, meditation, mindfulness, visualization, kinesthetic awareness), inner development (grit, confidence, attitude, lifelong learning), stress release, sport (local, regional, national, international competition), art (intrinsic gratification, pleasing to others), social interaction (friendships, group outings, networking), etc., etc.. Traditional karate skills are interchangeable and can be used in the class room, playground, workplace, board room, and throughout all aspects of life. Karate is for everybody (especially families), and while it will fulfill short-term goals, it can also fulfill long-term goals. Karate can be a useful addition to your lifestyle.
Self Defense
The Difference

If required, students should be confident that the skills learned in the dojo could help them in a real life self defense situation. Self defense is a serious topi
To be traditional, karate must still hold true to its martial beginnings. The beautiful techniques taught in karate need to be performed powerfully, quickly, and effectively. If required, students should be confident that the skills learned in the dojo could help them in a real life self defense situation. Self defense is a serious topic, and although karate should be fun, the knowledge that is being taught is potentially dangerous and even lethal. For this reason, the dojo kun (a set of five mottos often recited in JKA Shotokan dojos around the world) is stressed above all.
Rules (Kun)
The Difference
Self Defense
The dojo kun (or school rules) provides us with the underlying philosophy of karate.
- Seek perfection of character
- Be faithful
- Endeavor
- Respect others
- Refrain from violent behavior
