"The Sensei"

Head Instructor 

 The following quote by Tomoyosa Sensei sums up me, my training, and my dojo:

 

"Okinawans recognize two kinds of karate. One is called budo karate and the other one is sport karate. I teach budo karate - this is the traditional karate of Okinawa. People are attracted to sport karate and that is okay -- for them, but it is not for me. 

I choose budo karate because it is a way of life. 

Budo karate is commitment and dedication. In this case you, as a budo karate teacher, have to pick those that you can teach real budo karate to. These individuals train hard and are mannerly in their ways."
