Today you gave the first step in your quest for Karate-Do (Karate Way) mastery – a lengthy, but immensely rewarding journey that will culminate the achievement of black belt. The black belt is a symbol of strength, compassion and true dedication to Karate-Do. True martial artists look upon the SHO-DAN (First level) black belt as a beginning, not an end; it heralds the student’s birth as a karate-ka. Karate demands constant effort and self-discipline. It is easy to give in and “let one’s water run cold”. The Late Master Gichin Funakoshi said, “Karate is like boiling water; if you let it stand to long it will cool down.”
Karate Unlimited, based in Vereeniging, Meyerton and Alberton strongly believes in family and training hard. Karate training not only promotes physical well-being but also focus, mental alertness and self-defence concepts. We strive to embody the 5 maxims of our style: character, sincerity, effort, etiquette and self-control.
