Values & philosophy
For me, karate is ...
a philosophy of life – a discipline of daily life and thus a piece of lived worldview. I am convinced that through karate certain values can be conveyed that benefit one in everyday life. In addition to discipline, these include values such as respect, modesty, helpfulness, dealing with criticism and politeness. I live karate every day, even if some days are better than others. I support all karateka to learn to live their own personal karate intensively in everyday life and thereby increase their own quality of life sustainably.
Each karateka decides what karate means to himself.
One's own limits, but also the potential are set in the own thoughts.
This philosophy is also lived in our karate school – the karate-dōjō Taikikan. "Taikikan" means as much as "school of the body and the inner energy". This underlines our attitude towards karate:
"For us, karate is a martial art that shapes people in all aspects and is equally a way of life, because the experiences gained in the dōjō shape us in everyday life."
This philosophy ...
which I have anchored in my actions and in my books, should be expressed in a guiding principle – in this sense:
FT-KARATE – LEVEL UP YOUR KARATE & LIFE
