Above all, we believe that karate is a martial science and a way of life that trains the practitioner to be peaceful, yet has the capability to terminate any opponent with a single blow. Of course, such action requires power, swiftness, focus and control. Nevertheless, these physical aspects are just the vehicle and not the journey itself.

The journey is based on Bushido where the body, mind and spirit are developed concurrently through training in kihon, kumite and kata. Hence, the practitioner learns to both control and to relinquish control to the movements until the techniques are performed without thought while remaining focused. In essence, the body remembers how to move while the mind remembers how to be still. As a result, one becomes the embodiment of true karate because this method of training exemplifies a natural and effortless action where peace is possible through the perfect unity of mind, body and spirit.
