Mr. Taylor Hoinacki, Nidan
(2nd degree black belt)

Yoshukai karate has taught me some great characteristics for my everyday life such as patience. Patience is hard to find in the American culture, due to things being so instant. Striving to do the best, is also something I have learned while training in karate! Have to work very hard everyday on everything I do, such as school work, and everyday chores. I am excited to see where karate takes me in the future.

The patience, confidence and perseverance developed through the years of training are my greatest reward.

Yoshukai is a lifestyle, not an exercise program; it becomes a part of you. Once a karateka, always a karateka. Training seriously means training and being your best both inside and out outside of the dojo.

As I came home from the stresses of my job, I had to learn how to re-focus my attention on my karate and let the tension of the workday go. This has been extremely helpful to me over the last 3 years and has been very good to my mental state.

Yoshukai Karate proves itself to become a way of life to those who ‘train seriously with heart and soul’. Between the tradition of Yoshukai and the dedication and respect to Yoshukai by Dugan Sensei and his students, we will remain known as the most traditional style of martial arts.

It wasn't until I was an adult that I was introduced to Yoshukai Karate. The timing was great, I was ready for improvement in my life and this was it. Yoshukai Karate has helped keep me mentally strong as well as improve my health. I have asthma and osteoarthritis. Without training, I feel miserable and depressed.
