Each day I ask myself, "what have I done to improve my Karate today?"
Sometimes the answer may be "nothing." Work and family must come first.
But the next day I will ask the question again. And the next.
How can I expect improvement from my students if I don't demand it of myself?
"What have you done to improve your Karate today?"
Respectfully,

"Karate Jutsu" means "China Hand art". Karate came to Okinawa from China. Only in the 1930s or so, was the term "Karate" changed to mean "Empty Hand". "China Hand" was used in Hawaii until after World War II, and is still used in some dojo.
For more information, please visit the Hawaii Karate Seinenkai website.
The spirit of Karate is the Aloha spirit.
