Principles, Code of Ethics, and Five Fold Path

January 2, 2012

Principles , Code of Ethics and the Five Fold Path provide moral reminders for students of USA Karate Academy of Shoreline.  While each member receives a complete copy of these affirmations and character building quotes and sayings in their new student “Welcome Packet” this post was requested by parents, and former students alike.  As we welcome the New Year, it is a good time to reaffirm our beliefs in harmony within oneself, striving for personal development each and every day, and making a commitment to being a positive influence even  in the most difficult situations.  Happy New Year!


Dojo OPEN for regular training January 2, 2012

January 1, 2012

USA Karate Academy of Shoreline, WA is open for regular training this Monday, January 2, 2012. Students are welcome to attend any class that fits their schedule to make up any missed classes as soon as possible. Attending regularly, making up missed classes is essential for students to not only improve skills, but to FEEL progress. Lack of feeling progress is one of the most common reasons why a student may discontinue training. We also encourage practicing not only at home, but attending OPEN GYM. Open Gym occurs each Thursday at 6:00 pm – 7:40 pm. The dojo is available for guided practice, but is for serious students who can manage their time, and utilize their own self discipline. Most people underestimate the value of practicing during Open Gym and usually attend open gym to prepare for a belt progress test or upcoming tournament, almost as though they can “cram” for success. However, the best success in karate training comes from frequent, intense, and consistent practice. Jump start the New Year in karate training by showing up to class, open gym, and make ups!
