#307 Karate Vigilance

from Anxious Black Belt Podcast · host Les Bubka

Karate Vigilance is a post written by one of the sensei on Facebook. I found it interesting, and while many of the points raised differ from my own views, it prompted me to reflect on dojo culture. My opinions on this subject are, in several areas, in opposition to those expressed in the post, and I would like to share my perspective. This is not intended as criticism or disrespect toward the author—only a reflection of differing experiences and philosophies within karate. Healthy discussion and diversity of opinion are important for the growth of martial arts, and this is shared in that spirit. 🥋 Join the mission and enjoy 15% off your purchase with the code: AAB15 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kfmhcic-shop.fourthwall.com/promo/AAB15⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Should you prepare for competition? 👉 Special Offer: Get 15% off at Benson & Clegg with the code KARATE15 at checkout.
