Three Triads of Traditional Karate

Physical - Kihon, Kata, & Kumite

Moral - Mercy, Compassion & Justice

Ethical - Duty, Honor & Loyalty

All parts of the three triads make up nine perfections. The nine perfections are the whole rounded person focusing on human character as a whole being.

Traditional Karate provides a means to defend yourself against an aggressor. It gives self-confidence and stimulates a sense of awareness when in difficult situations. It heightens your consciences of environment and the very nature of unjust aggression.

“The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants ”

― Gichin Funakoshi
