Jikishin-Kai: Shito-Ryu Karate

The Japan Karate Institute at Jikishin-Kai

'Karate-do' is a Japanese term which generally
translates as "Empty Hand Way".

Although Karate-do is known to be an effective form of self-defense, it is also an equally effective form of mental and physical self-improvement, for adults and children alike. Through regular Karate-do training, the mind and body work together to become a unified force for self-protection. Karate-do training also provides vigorous exercise from which one can improve muscular and cardiovascular development as well as improving balance, coordination and reflexes.
