Karate tones the body, develops co-ordination, quickness, and builds stamina - without the danger of harmful injuries. The practice of Karate can also: * Improves focus and discipline in children. The execution of karate requires mental focus, self-discipline and concentration towards the various activities. These moves trickle down into the everyday life of a child and in the long run improve his or her listening abilities, study habits, school performance, and ability to obey and follow directions. * Improves decision making. Young kids have impulsive nature and so they make decisions that are solely based on their emotions. With the learning of the disciplined and controlled teachings of karate, kids learn to make appropriate and correct choices all through their lives resulting in greater self-confidence. * Helps to achieve goals. Kids who have better focus and concentration set their goals for life and work harder to fulfil their dreams and achieve their targets in life and develop feeling of self-worth. * Karate teaches self-protection. Though parents never wish their child to fall in such situations, there might be a time when their child has to defend and protect them self from physical assaults and harm by someone. It is therefore important to train the child for such situations in advance so that they are able to protect themselves in such circumstances and escape safely. * Helps to reduce weight. Karate helps to reduce excessive weight and fat from the body. The exercises and movements in karate make use of every part of the body. The numerous twists and turns make every inch of the body work and burn the stored calories. It also enhances your heart rate which results in quick burning of unwanted fat. * Helps to relieve stress. In the world of today, both men and women have very hectic lives. Everyone is also shouldering the many more responsibilities of managing their work, relationships, homes and kids. Thus their lives are quite stressful and tiring. Karate is a good means to get rid of the day’s stress in a few minutes time. KARATE FOR SELF DEFENCE Karate is one of the most dynamic of all martial arts. The trained Karate-ka is able to co-ordinate the mind and body perfectly, able to deliver strong physical power at will. It is not the possession of great strength that makes a good Karate-ka, though rather the ability to co-ordinate mind and body. With this ability, even a small person will find they are able to deliver a devastating blow to an attacker. OKINAWAN GOJU RYU KARATE Goju Ryu Karate is one of the four original styles of Karate, and was founded by Chojun Miyagi Sensei (1888-1953). The literal translation of the Japanese term Goju Ryu is "Hard/Soft" - Go meaning “Hard” and Ju meaning “Soft”. Ryu means “School”, thus Goju Ryu is the Hard/Soft School of Karate.
