Instructor: Adam The goal of the Ithaca YMCA Karate-Do program is to build character through positive role models and training which emphasizes the values of traditional Japanese martial arts: respect, courtesy, self-discipline, responsibility, respect for authority and hard work. In Karate, each student works at his or her own pace. All students participate, not just those who are the best or most talented. As students advance and become more experienced, they are expected to be good role models and help newer students learn.
***NOTE*** --There will not be classes held between February 16 and February 23. Classes resume on Wed, February 24.
The purpose of Karate-Do is to train for your whole life to become the most perfect person you can be! When you reach that goal, you feel the true value of Karate-Do. I am here to study Karate-Do, for it brings great meaning to my life!
~ Shihan Fumio Demura Chief Instructor of Shito Ryu Karate Do Genbu Kai
