mawashi geri - with hip drop
Utilizing a drop action with the hip in the karate roundhouse kick.
The art of karate is a method for each Karateka (participant) to develop their own artistic and personal impression upon the art and draw from its virtues. No martial art style is better than another, as we are all sharing in its virtues. Our goal is to broaden your horizons, help to develop the inner spirit within our students in order that they may fully express themselves through the art of karate and develop life tools to carry over into all aspects of ones life, in order to live a more purposeful life.
Our goal is never to say that what you have been previously taught is wrong; on the contrary, embrace your teachings, expand upon them and develop an understanding and artful expression of yourself through the wonderful art of karate.
The metaphors for karate are endless. For some it is a type of medicine for physical and mental focus in life, studies, business, work, family and other relationships. For others it is an artful expression of passion that brings out the creative side in order to have a more meaningful life and purpose expressed through martial arts. No matter what your purpose is, martial arts is to be enjoyed and shared by all. Respect others and their style, for they too are sharing in this common thread.
We at West Wind Karate hope that our expression inspires you as we share our passion and love for the art and all around us.
