About Karate

  
Karate training is designed to enhance the total development of the student: disciplining the mind and training the body.
It emphasizes many aspects of mental condition;
  
concentration, discipline, confidence and respect for others.
It also improves many aspects of physical condition;
co-ordination, strength, flexibility and fitness.

Karate, like the Japanese character, is enigmatic. On the surface it is a system of powerful kicks, punches and strikes. It is also an exciting, yet safe form of combat sport. But true karate trains the mind; it is a vehicle for improving the character through physical effort and perseverance.

The emphasis on perseverance, is reflected in the name of this club, Kenshin- a Japanese word meaning dedication.

The student should become dedicated to perfecting his art, just as this club is dedicated to assisting him in his endeavours.

It will take your entire life to learn karate; there is no limit.

Gichin Funakoshi.
