Best Kumite Award: Aiko Mejia

In the four to five years that I have been training at USA Wado Ryu, I have learned not only discipline and self-defense, but also self-control. You learn how to strike and defend, but you also learn how to control your techniques, which is extremely important.
Practicing Karate has improved me in many ways. For example, it has helped me perform better in other sports, and it has taught me to be more responsible through learning katas (Karate forms that are choreographed to simulate fighting an imaginary opponent).

I have also noticed that training at this dojo improves sportsmanship. You don’t just learn how to win — you also learn how to lose with respect, which is an important life skill.

That is why I highly recommend USA Wado Ryu Karate Dojo.

I have done Karate for 4-5 years to learn focusing, respect, self-discipline, and most importantly self-defense.

I started Wado Ryu Karate Dojo to learn to defend myself. You will also learn to punch, kick and other techniques which are very important for self-defense.

Learning Karate helps in different ways. For example, if a student is getting frustrated from failing a test at school, they can attend to this Dojo. You can learn how to stay calm and focused at school. Another example is if a student is scared of getting bullied or is worried about everything, they can learn Karate here to learn confidence and self-esteem.

Karate can help you with multiple things, including, confidence, self-control, physical fitness, focus and concentration, and respect. These are the Reasons why you should go to Wado Ryu Karate Dojo.
