Authentic Experience of Karate at a Japanese Temple

Authentic Experience of Karate at a Japanese Temple

Interested in an once in a life time karate experience with a black belt master, in the middle of Tokyo? Come visit our temple for an unforgettable lesson. We invite students to join us for our lessons. These programs are tailor made to accommodate any needs that our students may have. While our student age range can vary from 3-year olds to adults, every lesson starts with the basics of learning how to wear our karate uniforms. Since our place also functions as a temple, you might get a chance to talk to the chief priest.

We pride ourselves on our family friendly environment where people of all ages, sizes, and countries can experience karate and become a member of our dojo. Our Karate Dojo not only teaches you karate from a physicality aspect, but bestows upon you lessons from a morality and ethical aspect that usually are overlooked by other karate teachers.

Itinerary

Bowing and Meditating:

There is a saying in karate, "Karate starts and ends with a bow". Bowing may seem like a simple gesture, but it's actually one of the key fundamentals. We'll teach you how to "correctly" bow.

Meditation is referred to a state of deep peace that occurs when the mind is calm and silent, training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective.We will meditate to organize our thoughts.

Basics and "Kata"

Then we’ll practice the basic stances, punches, kicks, and defense techniques of karate. One crucial aspect of karate is that there's no jumping. This linear aspect of the sport is what differentiates it from other Martial Arts and why speed is king.

Board Breaking:

After demonstrating "kata" or detailed patterns of movements intended as a literal depiction of a mock fight, we will learn the first kata "Heian Shodan" and master how to use it for attacking and defending. A karate master will be able to pick and choose various Katas to use when fighting!
