Why You Need This Website

This website is published with one thing in mind - to help you with your goal.... whether for more knowledge or to find a local club... and it's all FREE!

Are you into the "crash-bash", do you like the idea of winning competitions? If the answer to either of the above is "YES", then please move onto another website. This one is NOT for you.

If "No", then this website is for you - the "silent majority".

This website understands that you have a hankering for a blend of keep fit, self-defence and the ancient 'Zen' eastern wisdom. Not just karate moves!

The more orthodox martial arts, like my own 'Shotokai' style (not to be confused with the modern 'ShotoKAN' Sports style) of Karate, understand and emphasise this important developmental mix of.....

Personal growth


Getting the best out of yourself


The core skills of self-defence and combat

These secrets are based around "Yin" energy and explosive "Yang" elements at the appropriate moment.

Classical karate moves are like an encyclopaedia of how Yin and Yang interact and work in harmony together.

Competition martial arts are, by their very nature, generally "Yin deficient" affairs spectator events made to please the viewing public and the ego. They are therefore not the complete package. There are some notable exceptions which I will explain in detail within this site.

To fully understand the 'complete package' - please bookmark this website. Perhaps you might want to share it with your friends and close ones.

If you are part of the 'silent majority' you may already sense the need for 'Yin' and 'Yang' in your heart of hearts - and you want to find out more.

In eastern philosophy the 'hara' or 'dantian' is at the very core and centre of our body and mind. In the west, when we listen to our 'gut feeling', we begin to connect with some of those deep and profound instincts.

If you want to experience life from the centre of your being and develop inner peace and harmony then you can. One rewarding and profound way to this enlightenment is through the study and practice of orthodox martial arts. For me, the key can be found in karate moves.

It will help you discover yourself.
