What is Karate? 
“True karate is this: that in daily life one’s mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice.”  –Gichin Funakoshi
Karate can also be described as a martial art, or fighting method, involving a variety of techniques, including blocks, strikes, evasions, throws, and joint manipulations. Karate practice is divided into three aspects: kihon (basics), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring).

History of Karate
Karate history can be traced back some 1400 years, to Daruma, founder of Zen Buddhism in Western India. Daruma is said to have introduced Buddhism into China, incorporating spiritual and physical teaching methods that were so demanding that many of his disciples would drop in exhaustion. In order to give them greater strength and endurance, he developed a more progressive training system, which he recorded in a book, Ekkin-Kyo, which can be considered the first book on karate of all time... read more ...

The recruitment poster

Le passage de ceinture et les couleurs

Les ceintures de couleurs sont une invention occidentale. en karate tradi comme en aikido tu as des kyu (5 kyu de blanc, 3 kyu de maron) puis des dan ( 5 dan dans notre ecole). cependant si tu veux frimer devant tes copain tu peux dire faire le rapport 9kyu= blanche, 8e = jaune... pour l instant tous ce qui n ont pas encore fait de passage sont 9eme kyu.

il n y a pas de limite de kyu a passer a chaque fois (votre sensei est directement passe de 9eme a 3eme kyu car il n a pas pu assister a un seul passage pendant 2 ans). le jury se laisse le droit de decerner n importe quel kyu a l eleve qui passe et c est " indiscutable". Il n y a pas possibilite de regresser mais il n y a la possibilite de stagner. Biensur beaucoup de facteur entre en jeu dans un passage de grade, vrai niveau, travail et aciduite, etat d esprit, stress... je souligne ici qu aucun billet de 100 000 VND ne sera accepte.

pour les dan c est different. pour  notre ecole il faut avoir fait 3 stage speciaux et presenter son premier dan lors d un stage de l ecole en France ( ou USA, belgique...)

encore une fois on ne joue pas sa vie. c est un exercice parmis d autres et l important c est de s entrainer
