A very apt quote from the Dalai Lama
“Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality”.

Osu,

Keep Calm and Carry On

Gichin Funakoshi the founder of Shotokan, penned 20 precepts as guiding principles for future karate generations to follow and #9 Karate is a life long pursuit drives us on to find ways to continue the journey in difficult circumstances.

Just like the Okinawans who trained in secret in the early formation days of karate, Worcester Shotokan Karate Club refuses to be beaten by the latest English lockdown.

The club reopened it’s virtual dojo on Monday 4th January.

When lockdown lifts the club will enjoy a seamless transition back to our real dojos.

The club regrets that we cannot accept new members at this time.

The Ethos of the Genius

For our late Chief Instructor Kato Shihan, it mattered not where you trained but that you trained. For Sensei the most important thing for Shotokan karate was the basic technique and the heart with which you practice.

Worcester Shotokan Karate Club are using the current time of social distancing to continue with Sensei’s ethos perfecting our Kihon (Basics).

One day we will meet again Sensei and you will see how far we have progressed.
