What It Takes To Master The Martial Arts


You must have faith in your style, for without a firm belief in your system, you can lose interest, and mastery will become impossible. You must also respect your Sensei, for he has accepted you as his student, so you must recognize him for his knowledge and ability, strive to be like him.
You must concentrate during training, because this will lead you to mastery of your system. Have patience during trainng and you will reach your goal in good time. Practice as much as possible not just in the Dojo but at home. Consistent practice of application of knowledge will lead you to mastery.
Sensei's expect lots of dedication from their students, and through this, students discover that the longer they study with their sensei, the more secret aspects will be taught to them. The master will teach you certian techniques in time, if you dedicate yourself to what you've already been shown.
You can insult your sensei by indervaluing his lesson, if you do not practice it to perfection.
If you just practice a little then want to learn something new, you are indicating you don't appreciate his instruction.
Remember,your sensei knows what you need to develope, so be ready to learn new techniques he shows you, then take them and work on mastering them!

Shuri-te/Shaolin Karate
  Shuri-te was derived from the Shaolin Kenpo style and was the main fighting system of the Samurai of the emperor of Japan at the Shuri Castle. The Chineses military envoy that was in Okinawa had a large influence on our Shuri-te Shoalin style. This influence includes the use of five basic Heians for developement and to prepare the student for the advanced kata of Kusanku, which is named after the Chinese General Kusanku himself, who introduced this method to the Okinawans. Our system is known for its fast and powerful techniques, Aki Jutsu (joint locking), and its main art, that of Kyusho Jutsu (pressure point hitting), which is taught to its higher-ranking Yudansha (black belt). With out its knowledge, our system would be no different from any other system. We trace our lineage through Soke Jerry Barbar of the Mahato Karate Association, to the original Mahato Karate lead by Master Noriyuki Tamesue and Master Shimokyo Funatsu.

Kobudo
Classical Okinawin martial weapons art Ryukyu Kobu Jutsu or simply Kubodo. The same civilian-warriors who developed the art of Karate forged Kobudo on the island of Okinawa. While there is no standardized or official set of Kata used by all practitioners, there are many interpretations of kata handed down by the masters of old.

Iaido
Iaido is the traditional martial art of drawing and cutting with the samurai sword. The purpose of Iaido is to develop awareness, sincerity, and calm mind as well as mental and physical harmony through practice of the traditional sword techniques. Iaido is the Japanese martial art formed from "KenJutsu" that is associated with the samurai class and with Japanese nobility.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport and a form of self-defense that focuses on grappling, especially ground fighting. It was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan Judo in the early 20th century, which was itself then a recently-developed system (founded in 1882) based on multiple schools (or Ryu) of Japanese jujutsu.
It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend himself against a bigger, stronger assailant using leverage and proper technique; most notably, by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. Jiu Jitsu can be trained for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition.
