Gold Tiger Karate Dojo

At our dojo we have kata’s that are specific for Goju Ryu, and kata’s that are generally used in other karate dojo’s.

These general kata’s help connect the different styles of karate together, teaches the basic stances that you’ll see in all of the different styles, and are a great way to warm up.

What is conditioning good for?

A part of our conditioning is body tempering which helps with targeting, breathing, and getting used to receiving contact.

🥋 Knowing where to strike is super important, and knowing how to take that strike to certain parts of the body is even more important.

🥋 Being able to breath during stress is critical, and most of the time when we’re under stress we clench up and hold our breath. Focusing on breathing, and less on the contact being made allows for better adaptation when competing in a combat sport or in a self defense situation.

🥋 Getting used to receiving contact makes you tougher physically, and it trains your brain to know when the body has hit the pain threshold.

To land a hit you have to be able to take a hit, so body tempering has to be a part of conditioning.

Kata allows the practitioner to educate themselves physically and mentally.

🥋The physical aspect encourages you to strengthen your body outside of the general practice of calisthenics which is great for those that don’t feel inclined to go to a gym.

🥋The mental aspect encourages you to study and research the history of the kata, the movements, and compare and contrast it with other martial art systems.

🥋At our dojo we believe that the true meaning behind the training is the perfection of one’s character. Like Jigaro Kano sensei envisioned Judo as a practice of improving the physical and mental aspects of the practitioner for mutual prosperity, we see karate the same way.
