The purpose of traditional martial arts is self-improvement, self-confidence, learning to respect martial arts, karate instructors, students, and in particular, to pay homage to our God. Traditional martial arts also focus on self-defense, traditions, lineage and developing positive affirmations. A positive characteristic about learning these attributes is a person can gain good health while learning a valuable art. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Remember the 1984 movie </span><strong style="font-family: Calibri;"><em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Karate_Kid_(1984_film)">‘<span style="color: orange;">The Karate Kid’</span></a>.</em></strong><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> There were two opposing philosophies depicted in the movie: (1) sport (</span><em style="font-family: Calibri;">Cobra Kai</em><span style="font-family: "calibri";">) karate & (2) traditional Okinawa Karate (</span><em style="font-family: Calibri;">Miyagi Ryu</em><span style="font-family: "calibri";">). </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">We hope most sport karate schools are not as aggressive as the Cobra Kai, but it should give you a general idea of the differences. </span><span style="font-family: calibri;">At the </span><strong style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="color: orange;">Arizona Hombu Dojo </span></strong><span style="font-family: calibri;">– TRADITIONAL Okinawan </span><strong><span style="color: orange;">Shorin-Ryu Karate</span></strong><span style="font-family: calibri;"> is taught – just like Mr. Miyagi's karate. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><b>Shorin-Ryu Karate</b> is essentially the original form of karate developed on Okinawa. It was created for the body guards of Okinawan royalty as likely as a <b><a href="http://self-defense-women.blogspot.com/">self-defense</a></b> art for some Okinawan peasants and included both empty hand (<b><i>karate</i></b>) and weapons <span style="color: orange;">(<a href="http://az-kobudo.blogspot.com/"><b><i>kobudo</i></b></a></span>). <b><i>Shorin-Ryu Karate</i></b> evolved from Shaolin <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_fu_(term)">Gung Fu</a>. In fact the kanji (Chinese characters) used for <b><i>Shorin-Ryu </i></b>refer to the Chinese Shaolin Temple. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">According to legend, Gung Fu was developed in ~550 AD when a Indian monk named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhidharma">Bodhidharma</a> traveled to China to teach Zen Buddhism. The Indian monk ended up in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolin_Monastery">Shaolin Temple</a> in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henan">Henan Province</a> where he introduced the Chinese monks to Zen. However, during meditation, the Chinese monks often fell asleep. Thus Bodhidarma instituted an exercise program that required the monks to train in Zen and also in a combat form known as <em>Shi Pa Lohan Sho</em> - which translates as the '18 hands of Lohan'. And just like that - martial 'arts' were created. And we do emphasize the term 'arts'. This is why MMA and other combat forms are not martial arts - they have no esoteric value which was introduced by blending Zen philosophy with combat.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span><br /><div class="MsoTitle" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "monotype corsiva"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><i>"Karate and Kobudo can be

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Today, karate includes the original Okinawa form of the martial arts that blend both the empty hand (karate) and weapons (kobudo) and other styles that have branched from Shorin-Ryu. Unlike most other forms of karate taught in the US and mainland Japan, Shorin-Ryu includes education in both weapons and empty hand. Thus, students of Shorin-Ryu learn both from the beginning, as was the original intention. In other forms of Japanese karate, kobudo is not taught, or kobudo, if taught, is only introduced at the yudansha (black belt) level. And many martial arts school tack on extra fees to teach weapons. But both karate and kobudo use the same movements and stances, so it seems backwards not to teach both at the beginning. At the Arizona School of Traditional Karate, the students all learn a large variety of weapons. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> Stop in and see why our karate has so much power and focus and why we are all such good friends. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many karate instructors and students congratulated Bill and Paula Borea of Gilbert and Dr. Adam of Phoenix for successfully passing advanced black belt exams. All three underwent 10 days of exams in Traditional Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate & Kobudo in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo01pfZPF_zpKStxra4k0rw">Mesa</a>. The group was required to demonstrate advanced forms (known in Japanese as kata), Okinawan weapons (known as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinawan_kobud%C5%8D">kobudo</a>) and Samurai Arts, and had to defend against a variety of attacks including assailants knives, guns and rifles. Dr. Adam also developed new forms including kata for <a href="http://hbjutsu.blogspot.com/">hanbo</a> (baton) and kata using a variety of modern tools including ruler, pens, glasses and belt. All three were successful and were promoted at a celebration Thursday evening (September 8th, 2011) at the Arizona School of Traditional Karate at the north end of Gilbert and south end of Mesa.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bill and Paula stand with Soke Hausel. Both Bill and Paula were promoted to 2nd degree black belt (nidan) in Shorin-Ryu karate and kobudo at the Hombu dojo in Mesa. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ceremony was completed with presentation of certifications followed by <a href="http://seiyo-tonfa.blogspot.com/">tonfa-jutsu</a> training and demonstration of a new kata by Dr. Adam. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tonfa is an <a href="http://az-kobudo.blogspot.com/">ancient Okinawan weapon</a> that at one time was used by nearly every law enforcement agency in the world, providing an insight into how effective this tool can be if one is properly trained. The weapon was originally a grinder handle attached to rice mills in Okinawa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What makes this so unique is due to very unusual circumstances made for a novel or movie script:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Very few people reach the level of 2nd degree black belt in Shorin-Ryu karate. This is because of extreme dedication and years of training. Even so, it is very achievable and all it takes is serious dedication.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Very few reach the level of Shihan (Master) and 5th degree black belt. This is considered one of the highest levels in martial arts – to be a master of an art.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bill and Paula have been training for many years trained in Japan while Bill was stationed in the Orient as a pilot in the US Air Force. They also trained at other martial arts schools in the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Paula’s story alone is made of the stuff for a movie. She is half Japanese. After the World War II, she was born to a Japanese mother and American serviceman. Being a child of two opposed cultures, resulted in her Japanese family giving her up for adoption at the age of 4 to 5.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Later in life, Paula returned to Japan with her husband Bill, where she met her Japanese mother for the first time since separation at birth - and they shared many tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Paula is not only of Japanese descent, she is also of samurai lineage and has always had an attachment to this heritage and searched for a martial arts school in Arizona that could bring her closer to her culture. She found that the Arizona School of Traditional Karate in Mesa provided her with that which she was missing and started training in Shorin-Ryu Karate and Kobudo and various samurai arts in 2006. She is the honorary Samurai of the Arizona School of Traditional Karate and Seiyo No Shorin-Ryu Karate Kobudo Kai.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both Bill and Paula are grandparents who show that with the right attitude, anything can be accomplished. The Boreas show this everyday in their lives. People who claim they cannot work out because of physical limitations should meet these two extraordinary people. Because of their dedication, both were also certified as Sensei (instructors).</div>

<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: orange;">It is important all individuals learn to defend themselves using their feet and hands. Why? Because you can't always get to a gun or escape in the event of an aggressive attack. So, at the </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo01pfZPF_zpKStxra4k0rw">Arizona School of Traditional Karate</a> </span><span style="color: orange;">in Mesa and Gilbert in the East Valley of Phoenix, we focus on training our students in self-defense as well as in the traditions of karate. Learn to use your hands and feet as weapons of self-defense.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentcolor; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: orange;">Karate has proven to be the most successful method of hand to hand combat self-defense in the world for several hundred years. When one trains in <em>'TRADITIONAL'</em> karate, they are taught pragmatic self-defense, respect for others, ethics, and are taught the time honored method of</span> <a href="http://az-mushin.blogspot.com/">mushin</a>. <span style="color: orange;">Mushin is basically teaching your muscles to think while your brain takes a break. You must learn to react without thinking to be successful in</span> <a href="http://sk-self-defense.blogspot.com/">self-defense</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: orange;">Sport karate is very good for exercise and competition, but it is </span><em><a href="http://arizonatraditionalkarate.blogspot.com/">Traditional</a></em> </span><span style="color: orange;">karate that was created on Okinawa a few centuries ago and developed as an effective method of self-defense (remember Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid?). Traditional karate focuses all of its resources as well as philosophy and traditions of martial arts - and our students are taught to defend with power and focus, not to win points in competition.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">With so many attacks occurring to people of all ages in the US, it is time to learn karate - no matter your age. At the Arizona School of Traditional Karate we have students from 8 to 70. Seiyo Shorin-Ryu Karate and Kobudo schools are also found in Arizona, Utah and Wyoming. Around the world we have students as young as 91 training in karate and kobudo.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: orange;">Every year, we teach a group of self-defense and karate clinics. We also have groups who travel </span><span style="color: orange;">to Phoenix to train in Self-Defense at the Arizona School of Traditional Karate in Mesa and Gilbert. Clinics for</span> <a href="http://self-defense-women.blogspot.com/">women's clubs</a></span><span style="color: orange;">, associations, business and church groups are also available and can provide a very interesting and entertaining evening of self-defense training - something no woman or person be without!</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="color: orange;">At the Arizona School of Traditional Karate in Mesa; karate, martial arts and self-defense clinics are taught to other martial artists, members of Seiyo Shorin-Ryu Karate and to layman groups and clubs. We find</span> <a href="http://aztraveler-defense.blogspot.com/">airline traveler associations</a> </span><span style="color: orange;">and flight attendant groups, sororities and women's to need self-defense training!</span> <span style="color: orange;"><br />
