SELF DEFENSE
Karate is based on technique rather than strength or size. Even a small person can learn to create great power; this is done with techniques reflecting a deep understanding of the body. Furthermore, timing and sharp reaction can be acquired with systematic training methods and are more important than innate athletic ability. In karate we do not simply counter the aggressor’s strength; we capitalize on it through strategy and technique.
Shitoryu karate is not about fighting. The highest objective of Shitoryu karate is to avoid physical confrontation. Students are taught to practice humility but with the confidence that comes from knowing they have the tools to defend themselves if necessary.
