Karate got its name because it enables people who are smaller or weaker physically to generate significant amounts of force and power to protect themselves and do it extremely efficiently! To do this, you need to understand the mechanics of using your whole body (knowledge passed on from our masters before us) and through continuous training. The journey to achieve this skill creates health benefits also learning this helps with self-defense. To keep track of this journey, a traditional coloured belt (ranking) system allows students to set personal goals and measure their progress throughout the years. Learn more.
