Prepare Yourself
The following thoughts come from the club
member's handbook. Apply them to your own situation or come and join in.
Steady, persistent and hard efforts
will produce miracles. Hard work and application (diligence) are central
to the practice of Bushido (the way of martial arts) and help us overcome
the difficult times or situations we all encounter.
Sweep pre-occupying thoughts from your
mind before training. Try to empty your thinking of everything other
than karate and what you wish to learn at the time.
Concentrate on all movements with the
maximum effort, focus and power, and do this every time you train. If
you wish to achieve a lot, you will not gain this through only trying
a little.
Karate practice must be finished by
observing the essential idea that karate begins and ends with courtesy.
