American Karate-Do Shotokai
Description
Our Purpose:
American KDS is a non-profit organization established for the furthering of karate-do and the betterment of the individual and our communities.
KDS practice is not sport karate, but is instead devoted strictly to self-defense training. It therefore does not utilize competitions as a method of practice or testing. Its focus is the development, confidence, and safety of the individual, and thus the betterment of society. Two governing KDS principles are:
Basic elements required to achieve these goals are: muscle control, technique, penetration, stability, mobility, distance and timing, as well as strength and flexibility. Combined, such elements form the body condition of an individual. KDS practice differs from other karate styles by concentrating on this ever important foundation of body condition that is absolutely necessary for one to be effective, rather than on technique alone. Without the proper body condition, it is very unlikely that a smaller person will be able to defeat a larger or more experienced person—despite the number of techniques they have mastered.
