Since beginning of October, we’re active at our new dojo on the Mustafa Kemal Boulevard for 6 days a week. We have 6 classes available. Each class is limited to 20 members. Our purpose is; quality than quantity.
The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants. – Gichin Funakoshi
Karate is a Japanese word meaning “empty hand”. It is a highly scientific art making the most effective use of all the parts of the body for defensive purposes. The ultimate aim of karate is the perfection of character through arduous training and strict disciplining of mind and body.
Karate training consists of three parts. These are Kihon, Kata and Kumite.
Kihon, is the basic techniques. Technical studies are very repetitive and require patience. These studies, which will be taken as the equivalent, correct technique, speed and power, are the most basic form of training that should be studied without exhaustion and weariness without exception.
Katas are exercises designed to transfer the Karate from one generation to the next, in which the various pre-determined techniques are applied in a certain order. From simple basic combinations to difficult and detailed combinations, the Katas vary by generation level, increasing levels of difficulty. It is not possible for Karate-ka to keep the technical level and Karate quality high until the end of his life.
Kumite is a fighting exercise in practice. Kihon and Kata, which are repeated thousands of times, are the basic training of a dojo. Karate kas, whose technique has been established, must be developed in order to be able to apply these techniques to their competitors. As in Kihon and Kata, kumite training is repetitive and require patience.
