Kyoshi.S.Sankar, 7th Dan Black Belt, Founder & Technical Director of CCS KARATE ACADEMY
Karate is not solely a fighting technique. It is training in self-discipline, self-confidence, concentration, serenity in threatening
situations when fear or anger might be the natural response, stamina, controlled energy, swifter reflexes, proper breathing, a positive attitude to life
-- to mention only a small part. In short karate is training in body and spirit. The total concentration and discipline required to study karate
carries over to daily life. The dojo -- i.e. the place where karate is studied is traditionally called 'The Place of Enlightenment'.
In it we make contact with and take control of ourselves -- our fears, anxieties, reactions, and habits. The dojo is a place of
learning and self-enlightenment for both teacher and taught. If the student has the necessary dedication the teacher provides the
knowledge and spiritual inspiration, then Karate will reveal itself to have an essence and meaning far removed from just breaking
bricks and boards.
