...We
have had an excellent
response to our website
since we began in
November 2000, with many
martial artists
contacting us with
questions about their
practice. There have
also been requests for
programs that could be
available online for
independent study. In
response we have
released
Martial
Art Online -
Learning,
a three level program
for independent
practice. We are also
proceeding with our
interest in Professional
Development for Martial
Artists by offering
three Courses in
Martial
Art Online -
Teaching,
and some of this year's
Seminars
&
Camps
schedule. Stay
tuned!

Gichin
Funakoshi
(1868-1957) the
founder of
modern
karate-do,
said:
...
"One
of the most
striking
features of
karate is that
it may be
engaged in by
anybody, young
or old. Strong
or weak, male
or female.
Further, one
need not even
have an
opponent for
practice
purposes. Nor
is there any
need for a
specially made
uniform. Even a
dojo is
unnecessary: a
person can
practice karate
in his own
yard. Of
course, anyone
truly
determined to
master the
various kata
must do so at a
proper dojo,
but someone
whose desire is
merely to stay
healthy and to
train his mind
and spirit may
do so by
practicing
karate by
himself." |
