| Why Train at the Okinawa Budo Kai Dojo ? Every Karate school preaches the benefits of martial arts training, self defense; physical and mental fitness; self discipline; self respect as well the many other positive benefits. So do we. What separates us from them is Tradition. We teach traditional arts in the traditional ways. At the Okinawa Budo Kai we do not stress sport karate. To be good at sport one has to be a good athlete. This is not what traditional Karate and Kobudo are about. Okinawa martial arts are not about trophies or rank. They're about a life long commitment to yourself to get physically and mentally fit which also means developing that confidence to defend yourself and your loved ones in this dangerous world. At the Okinawa Budo Kai Dojo we don't just "teach" our students, we give them an "experience". The atmosphere in our dojo is Okinawan. You will experience the "old ways" of Okinawa martial arts which includes the history, traditions and culture of Okinawa. Your Chief Instructors travel to Okinawa almost yearly. They have teachers in Okinawa and also American teachers who have spent many years training in Okinawa. We also bring these senior Masters of Karate & Kobudo to Michigan and our dojo so our students and other serious martial artists can experience their talent. As an Okinawa Budo Kai student you adopt these affiliations and connections to the "Island of Karate". At our dojo you EARN rank you don't pay for it. There are no promotion fees at the Okinawa Budo Kai. Our students take pride in the rank we issue because it's authentic and DOES NOT relate to dollars and cents. Come visit the Okinawa Budo Kai Dojo and feel the "experience" for yourself. You'll know that you came to the right place to begin your Traditional training in Okinawa Martial Arts. "The Okinawa Budo Kai School of Karate & Kobudo specializes in traditional Okinawa martial arts. We bring Okinawa to our students." |
