Karate is in essence a Martial Art which expessley promotes personal growth, humility and self discipline. As an illustration of this we read the description from Gichin Funakoshi.

“Karate is not about victory or defeat , but about development of character”

With this in mind we approach Competition in the same manner because there are always winners and losers in a contest. Not to mention the highs and lows of emotions as a result of victory or defeat. The philosophy of Funakoshi is especially in mindset of our Competition Squad. In other words it is about the development of individual character rather than victory at all cost. Consequently victory and defeat must be taken in the same manner. To lose to an opponent is simply a lesson to learn.

COMPETTITION SQUAD

Over the years Samuari Competition Squad have been successful in winning medals together with developing strong characters. In fact some of the strongest characters are those who have not won a medal. Another key point is that competition brings out the spirit and drive in individuals. This significantly can transfer into everyday life where we often have to compete but can do so with the right mindset. Competition training has a process of preparation, refinement, and attention to detail all leading to the final presentation. Many of these skills will be applicable elsewhere in life experiences.

We consider our competitors all as winners simply for walking on the mat to test themselves.
