Life can be tough...

...but you can train to be tougher.

Training at Shinjin Karate offers more than just kicking and punching. Like many of the "old school" practitioners of karate, we have discovered that the benefits of training go beyond the physical. We truly train mind, body, and spirit. Yes, you'll get stronger physically, especially if you train hard. But you will also achieve a new mental toughness and a new strength of spirit.

One of our students described her training as "re-inventing herself". Another student remarked how bullies at school gradually stopped bothering him, even though none of them knew he was training in the martial arts. Somehow he found himself no longer reacting in a way that was rewarding to the bullies. Now he's standing up for the other kids who are being picked on. Another student commented that her new-found confidence not only makes her less afraid to be alone at home, but has made her more willing to take greater risks, whether it's asking for a raise at work or being her child's advocate at school.

Other students have found the focus and mental toughness they needed to do better at school or work. They have learned to stand up for themselves. They have discovered that they are stronger and tougher and more capable than they ever thought possible. They have learned to live their lives with confidence.

Yes, life can be tough. But the lessons you learn on our dojo floor will help you face life head on. You'll learn how to persevere. You'll learn to get up when knocked down but, most importantly, you'll learn to win.
