As parents, we can't help but ponder these sorts of questions. Will our children be equipped to overcome the challenges facing them in the future?
At Shinjin Karate, these are not rhetorical questions. We believe strongly in empowering all of our students, children and adults, to deal with all that life might dish out. We believe that our Keichu Ryu program teaches not only excellent martial arts skills, but life skills as well.
True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical times, one can be devoted utterly to the cause of justice. - Gichin Funakoshi
As a neo-traditional dojo, we endeavor to teach true karate in a way that is most beneficial to the student of today.
RESPECT • ULTIMATE FOCUS • HARD WORK
It takes three things to be a good student in our dojo: respect, ultimate focus, and hard work. We don't expect our new students to be fully proficient in these things, so we teach them how to be respectful, how to focus their eyes, ears, minds, bodies --- and how nothing worthwhile is ever achieved without good old-fashioned diligence. Our students soon discover a wonderful secret: the harder they work at karate, the more they enjoy it.
We also introduce our students to our core values, and we encourage them to make these values a part of their lives:
We also introduce our students to our core values, and we encourage them to make these values a part of their lives:
DEDICATION
DISCIPLINE
RESPECT
HONOR
HUMILITY
THE KEICHU ATTITUDE
DISCIPLINE
RESPECT
HONOR
HUMILITY
THE KEICHU ATTITUDE
The last one encompasses all five of the previous core values and more. We describe the Keichu Attitude with these words: "I will train hard. If I fall down seven times, I will get up eight. I will never, never, never give up."
That sounds very old-fashioned. Dedication, discipline, respect, honor, humility, determination and perseverance --- these things have fallen out of style. But I believe that today and tomorrow, these particular values are more needed than ever. They are not optional for parents who want their children to be able to face the future with confidence, fully equipped to succeed. They are not optional for people who want to be able to stand firm and do what is right. These values are necessary.
In our dojo, you will learn to punch and kick. You will learn to defend yourself. You will learn a wonderful, cohesive and comprehensive martial arts system that you will be able to continue practicing throughout your entire life, even into old age.
But you will learn far more than that.
You will learn how dedication to your physical training can help you become strong and unshakable physically, mentally, and spiritually.
You will learn how discipline and hard work will stregthen your character.
You will learn how to be courteous and respectful and how to refrain from violence.
You will learn the importance of honoring what is important with your conduct, loyalty, and integrity.
You will learn the value of humility.
You will learn that quitters never win and that winners never quit. You will learn how to persevere in the face of difficulty and discouragement.
In other words, you will learn some of the most important life lessons and skills that you could possibly learn. You won't just learn those things. They will become part of you.
You will become strong.
Training in Keichu Ryu karate is one of the most important investments you can make for you and your family. It is an investment that will never fail and that will never lose its value.
