KIDOKAN KARATE |
|
After doing Martial Arts since the time I could walk and accumulating a total of 25 Black Belt degrees in multiple disciplines not including my 5th Degree in Kickaway Kickboxing. . These are:- Kidokan—5th degree Black Belt Shotokan—4th degree Black Belt Zen Do Kai—4th degree Black Belt Bu Shi Kai—4th degree Black Belt Kakusa Ryu Ninjitsu —3rd degree Black Belt BJC & Anderson Corp. Muai Thai—3rd degree Cru Aikido—2nd degree Black Belt. I was truly honored to become the Chief Instructor of Kidokan Karate. The name Kidokan literally means Life Force Way School and interpretively means School of the Infinite Way. I’ve always liked the name because it truly represents my vision of what a Martial Art should be. Kidokan is more than just a sport or hobby it’s a life philosophy and at face value it’s quite simple:- You can achieve anything you want and all you need is 2 things. They are:-
1) The Understanding to get what you want 2) Infinite determination to achieve it.
One of the key points to this philosophy is– Knowledge Is Power. This is why I take advantage of the best elements of each discipline I have studied, combine them with modern teaching methods and attach this to a solid traditional base. This in essence is Kidokan but unlike most other styles we study and practice a wide range of methods for the same technique. The theory is there is a right reaction or technique to any situation and seen as you never know what situation you’re going to end up in the more responses you know the better equipped you are. The same can be said for every element of our life and Martial Training has been used for 1000’s of years to prepare people for difficult or unexpected circumstances. Kidokan was designed to be more than an incredibly effective self defense system, it’s purpose is to make our life journey a little more understandable which in turn will hopefully help it’s exponents find an inner peace or contentment.
I know that the concepts and theories that are practiced in Kidokan are practical and effective because I’ve used them personally for years. I can honestly say since I made a commitment to follow these philosophies I have been extremely successful in both my professional and personal lives. This is largely due to the simple traditional basics of ethical behavior:- Discipline, Honour and Loyalty. This on its own sounds simple enough but few people truly understand the gravity of these elements in every aspect of our lives. Kidokan is a plan or method of how to consciously enact these elements in ourselves at the same time building the self confidence to take on any challenge or achieve any goal.
Most people through the course of their life will eventually learn, via experience, what works and what doesn’t. Kidokan provides a set of guide lines and theories to save us the anguish of these experiences. I know a lot of people would say that they want to have those experiences anyway. This isn’t the point, the idea is not to avoid life– it’s to meet it head on, just make sure you’re as prepared as you can be.
Another key difference between Kidokan and other styles is due to demand and to protect the integrity of the style we only accept students by application or invitation. This is for personal training and classes. Kidokan is a completely original Martial Arts concept, covering the entire spectrum of Martial Arts training. It includes everything from Kata to Kumite and Meditation to Weaponry so we are devoted to keeping its philosophies as intended.
