Lifetime Karate

Current mindset
Energised

Sunday training on the beach is great. A walk along the beautiful coastline, with a tasty toastie in the Harbourmasters Café at the midpoint.

We had a good discussion today about just how fantastic karate is. Between me and my 4th Dan pal, we have over 80 years of karate training behind us, and we still love it. Karate provides a life long challenge, and life long benefits.

What other activity offers a complete fitness regime but keeps the mind engaged throughout?
What other activity also offers mindfulness and mental health benefits?
What other activity does all of this while providing a meaningful and practical outcome - i.e. self defence?

And all this without the need for any equipment.
Without the need for a lot of space.
And can be practiced for 20 minutes, an hour, or more.

What other activity comes with 5 guiding principals that don't just help with our Karate development, but provide life lessons with real benefits.

Karate for Life.
