Karate Perth FAQ.
The ultimate purpose of karate is not physical prowess or the winning of matches, but the development of balance, harmony and spiritual and physical strength through strict, disciplined training. Karate schools you in natural, effortless action, and imbues you with an openness, peace, and wholeness of character that vastly enriches day-to-day life.
With members in over 100 countries, the Japan Karate Association (JKA), is the world’s largest and most prestigious karate organization, and the only legal karate entity officially recognized by the Japanese government as an association of members for the promotion of karate. More importantly, though, we are The Keeper of Karate’s Highest Tradition, the preserver of the soul and spirit of the art of karate in line with the tradition of Bushido (the way of the samurai). Our mission is to promote the way of karate throughout the world while ensuring that it remains true to the philosophical precepts upon which it was founded. This has been our mission since the establishment of the JKA in 1949.
Affiliated to the Japan Karate Association, JKA-SKC is headed by a group of senior instructors who all have an enormous amount of training experience gained at the Honbu (Headquarters) dojo of the JKA in Tokyo.
Instructors encourage all students to embrace the highest principles of ethical and moral behaviour while striving to develop excellence in karate technique driven by a strong fighting spirit and, at all times, healthy and positive interaction with fellow karateka.
JKA-SKC members are encouraged to develop the level of wisdom and discipline that ensures the appropriate level of discretion is applied before using the power within to protect and uplift themselves, their students, their families and their wider communities. http://www.jka-skc-australasia.com.au
