To Search for the Old is to Understand the New.

The old, the new.
This is a matter of time.

In all things man must have a clear mind.

The Way:
Who will pass it on straight and well?

Funakoshi, Gitchen

   I have started adding pages in the student area under 'Sacred Texts'. Yeah. Corny title, I know. I hope you enjoy them.
Most all of the Student handbook has been updated to reflect the current requirements for promotion. Also added a few Kobudo pages.
Oh! Scroll down and check out the Kumite Demo by Sensei Kanazawa. I thought this was interesting.

You will need a password now to enter the student area.

    No Problem just E-Mail me john@shokarate.org One will be provided for you or your family. Please tell me who you are in the e-mail. I can not hand a password out to 'CrazyDirtBikeGurl18' or 'LoMeinLuis22' Put Student Area Password or something like that in the subject line, and be patient. Yes. you do have to be a student here ( former student in good standing works too) to get a password as well. For our young Karate-Ka ask Mom and Dad. This area is for our younger students as well.

   By making this area members-only so to say, I now have the freedom to add a great deal more content.
