Hidden within basic movements/techniques, stances and breath control lies the true essence of karate. This course will cover a variety of deeper aspects of karate, normally revealed through self discovery through practice and training.The spirit of karate or empty hand training is known to fill any void of emptiness within the psyche of a disciple. Karate-kas are tenacious & sharp.My course will teach you karate style exercises that create confidence, strength of mind, strengthen the body and boost the spirit. The deeper aspects of karate are rarely explored in the modern world. My friends, karate really is FAR MORE than just a fighting form. Karate develops the spirit of a practitioner and creates amazing levels of courage and confidence. It will also give you wellness and good health if practiced in the way it was intended i.e. as a holistic way of life. Please check with your doctor that you are okay to start this or any other fitness programs before you start just to be completely sure. Always do any aerobics style warm up first...please warm up properly and stretch before doing any of the exercises within and be responsible for your own safety and good health. Courage, Love & devotion to all,Enjoy,Sensei ShiFu Paul J Tavares
