Children's Karate Grading at the Shinzen Dojo
On 26.10., children and teenagers completed their karate grading at the Shinzen Dojo.
For many children, it was their first grading in their young karate lives and hopefully not their last.
Es stellten sich viele junge Kinder dieser Herausforderung und gleichzeitig dieser Chance den Wert des Karates näher zu verstehen, aber auch gleichzeitig die erfahrenen Schüler vom Shinzen Dojo, die schon seit Jahren Kyokushin Karate im Shinzen Dojo trainieren.
“Karate is a path. A lifestyle that is not just trained, but lived, at the Shinzen Dojo.” - Sempai Son
Sempai Son tested the children on the relevant basic techniques (Kihon) and movement forms (Kata), as well as sparring (Kumite), all of which the students passed.
Es war aber auch klar, dass nicht jede Technik zu 100% richtig war. Wichtiger ist in jungen Jahren die Philosophy und die Werte des Karates zu verstehen, um die Tiefe des Karates eines Tages zu verstehen.
“First the spirit, then the technique.” - Gichin Funakoshi (Founder of modern Karate)
If children and teenagers internalise this, they will benefit from the advantages of karate training in the long term, both mentally and physically.
At this point, the Shinzen Dojo and Sempai Son Le would like to offer their heartfelt congratulations on the successful grading and hope that all candidates will one day recognise the value of karate training on their Kyokushin Karate path.
