KATA
A kata, or form, is a choreographed pattern of movement, somewhat resembling a dance, that expresses the basic movements of karate.
The katas, many of which are over 500 years old, are the alphabet from which the words and sentences of self- defense are constructed; each movement holds subtle meanings not readily discernible to the untrained eye.
Many martial artists have heard of the hidden art within the katas, but at Takamine Karate Dojo, the study of this art is a primary focus.
CONTROL OF THE OPPONENT
Takamine Karate Dojo students are trained in the prudent use of lethal force in a life threatening situation.
However, because the attacker most often will be someone known to the victim - friend, spouse or co-worker - people will not use killing or maiming techniques on them and thus cannot defend themselves, unless they also know techniques that will allow them to control an opponent with a minimum of injury to the attacker.
Takamine Karate Dojo provides a wide variety of techniques so that the student may select the amount of force appropriate to the attack.
SELF-DEFENSE
Most Martial Art schools claim to teach self-defense, but they mostly focus on punching and kicking, with only a few joint locks or throws.
At Takamine Karate Dojo, we also teach grappling techniques called Tuite and nerve point techniques known as Kyusho Jitsu.
True skill isn't determined by how hard someone can hit a heavy bag that doesn't hit back.
True skill is determined by
understanding how one can utilize their body weight to their advantage when learning these deep self-defense skills.
ANATOMY
At Takamine Karate Dojo, understanding the human body is not just an advantage, it is a cornerstone of our training.
Students study the body’s structure and functions to unlock the secrets of effective self-defense.
By focusing on vital areas such as nerve clusters, joints, and pressure points, we teach how to maximize the effectiveness of strikes and techniques.
This knowledge allows students to target vulnerabilities with precision, ensuring that techniques are not only powerful but also efficient. It’s more than physical training, it’s a science that enhances the art of karate.
The study of anatomy empowers students to make their movements purposeful, delivering results while maintaining control and respect for their opponent.
DISCIPLINE
Discipline is the foundation of every martial artist, and at Takamine Karate Dojo, it is a way of life.
Through rigorous training and consistent practice, students develop the mental fortitude to stay focused and composed under pressure.
The discipline instilled in the dojo extends beyond martial arts, it influences how students approach challenges in their daily lives.
Discipline teaches patience, respect, and perseverance. It is the guiding principle that transforms raw potential into mastery, shaping not just skilled martial artists but well-rounded individuals.
Discipline is not a demand, it is a path to personal growth, mental strength, and excellence in all aspects of life.
