When you block overall, imagine you are attacking. When someone punches you, you don't move to evade the punch, but rather to break the arm.

Sensei Takeshi Uema

7th Dan Okinawa Shorin-Ryu

Our karate is not a sport but a budo. It is about tempering oneself. To never give up. This spirit can be reached only if one goes through hard training with all one's might. Spiritual strength comes only through hard training. It is a way of forging oneself.

Sensei Yasuhiro Uema

10th Dan Okinawan Shorin-Ryu

Okinawan karate is for self-defence and self-development. Okinawan karate is not sport. It is education and for philosophical development.

Sensei Sabyasachi

Karate as a martial art is about self-defense. Overcoming your own weaknesses, never bending in any circumstance, it is about developing an unshakable spirit. In karate what is important is to cultivate the strength to concentrate your spirit on one thing with heart and soul.

Empty-handed and carrying no weapon, dominating an adversary with body and soul only, karate, a martial art of self-defense. To master the way, a long and arduous journey awaits.
