Welcome
to Dallas Karate! We are located in Wylie, Texas
and are directly affiliated with Wylie Karate, LLC., and The
Ryukoku Seidokan Karate Kobudo Renmei (RSKKR) operating in
Okinawa. Our student's get promotion
certificates mailed directly from the RSKKR Okinawan dojo as
they progress through the belts.
We view Karate as an art that can be
practiced over a lifetime, not merely a 'sport' to be practiced up
through high school, as
is most sports. Men, women, and kids of all ages can gain
something from Karate. It is a very individualized
endeavor where
levels are attained through clearly
communicated goals. The only competitor for
advancement is yourself. There are no timelines, and while Karate
certainly has team aspects, it also fits people that are non-team
competitive. Remember...Self defense is not a team
sport. It
is quite serious. We do not force a competitive spirit through
sparring, but in intermediate and advanced levels, our waza
(techniques) are executed as 'live' as we can safely
practice. This can best be described as randori.
Our
karate style is an all-emcompassing style that pre-dates many
different martial arts styles. It involves open-hand (te),
weapons (kobudo), jujitsu (tuite) and ground techniques.
We
first learn ukemi (safely falling) while we learn our basic
blocking/punching/kicking. Later, after ukemi is mastered, we
start joint locking and breaking techniques,
takedowns, throws, and weapons. It is
a comprehensive art offering enough for a lifetime of study.
