Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do is a part of my working & recreational life. It has helped me to develop confidence and a more positive attitude toward many aspects in life both at work & play. It has also enabled me to meet many varied and interesting new people while improving coordination and fitness.

There are two main reasons for learning karate. The first is the reason I started, the second has arisen as I’ve learnt the art… I have always felt a need to know how to protect myself out of situations without hurting anyone seriously. I have also found that Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do has given me a strength and patience that I never knew I had before that brings itself out in my work and in my relationships.

I did not think that I could do something like Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do, but by coming each week and working hard in class, it has made me see I can do this! This belief in myself has made me more confident in all things that I do.

My purpose for training has evolved since I began taking Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do. When I started, I was seeking rigourous physical training in which I would learn a useful skill. Since I began taking classes, I have tried to incorporate the level of concentration and focus that I apply in class to other aspects of my life.

Joining Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do has been one of the best decisions in my life. My weight has dramatically decreased, my flexibility and muscle strength have dramatically increased and I’ve never felt better in terms of health. However, not all the benefits have been purely physical. In terms of mental benefits, I’ve become a much calmer and more confident person. As my karate improves, I can definitely see changes in me as a person and as a human being. My discipline and achievement has led to self respect, which in turn leads to respect for my peers. I have learned to look up to my seniors, in the hope that I may too one day learn to emulate their achievements. Thank you for this opportunity

I wish to say a huge thank you to Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do. They have helped my son so much. They are very kind and very understanding of kids needs. They have helped my son grow spiritually, mentally and physically. Thank you once again.

Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do symbolizes something of great value to me: perseverance and a non-quitting spirit. These fundamental principles provide me with the discipline to have great focus in my daily life while simultaneously being energized and calm. Karate training, embodies my belief of leading an authentic life in a world seduced and distracted by a “virtual” reality. Jin Sei Ryu Karate-Do has changed me by giving me greater clarity in what really matters in life.
