IT'S TIME TO GET FIT!
Tomodachi Karate Centre was started in November 2011 and the training focuses primarily on building a solid foundation by placing emphasis on the basics of Shotokan Karate. We strive to remain true to the proper form and balance of each Kihon, or basic technique. This is further translated into Kata and Kumite and combined this forms the inseparable trinity of JKA Karate.
"In true karate, the body, mind and spirit—the whole person—must be developed simultaneously. Through kihon, kumite and kata we learn to control our movements. But more importantly, we learn to give up control too. We can perform the techniques without thinking about them, and remain focused without having to concentrate on any one thing. In essence, the body remembers how to move and the mind remembers how to be still. (Source: www.jka.or.jp)”
This is the essence of our teaching at Tomodachi: to develop the “whole person”
