We take a holistic view to our martial art. Our badge is in a triangular shape. Each facet of the shape represents each of the three factors that form our belief in building a perfect martial artist. They are Mind, Body and Spirit. We try to maintain a healthy mind set to concentrate on developing our skills. These skills range from social, intellectual, and technical. A healthy mind contributes to a healthy body. Maintaining a healthy body enables one to achieve new skills and develop their technical skills. Developing one’s core strength further develops their strength of technique, accuracy, and stamina. Spirit is what one develops with the combination of a healthy mind set and physical endurance. Another way to describe spirit is determination. There are occasions when one is at the end of their physical stamina and they need to continue, the spirit takes over and pushes the body to new and greater limits never achieved before. Using the three facets of Mind, Body and Spirit our karate students further develop their self confidence and self esteem. This helps them conduct their lives in a well balanced and well mannered nature. Success in life then comes naturally no matter what the karateka does from day to day. Lion Bushido Karate is not just a sport, but a way of life. In conjunction with the above guidelines, we recommend our members use and follow the modern interpretation of the Code of the Bushido |
