BENEFITS OF ASHIHARA KARATE
The Ashihara dojo seeks to mould stronger individuals, while inspiring them with positive values of respect, compassion and social conscientiousness.
Training is physically intensive with great emphasis on partner-based drills, while being deeply rooted in Japanese martial etiquette or reishiki (礼式).
This makes Ashihara Karate an excellent means of honing the physical body, while sharpening thinking skills and forging a strong fighting spirit and character.
