(2nd degree black belt)

Karate has helped me work harder to accomplish my goals. When I first joined karate I wasn’tnecessarily fully committed. I didn’t know if I was going to do okay or if I was ever going to pass atest. However, when I passed my first test I felt amazing. That really pushed me to continue to trainhard and keep progressing in physical and mental training.

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.

I wouldn’t be where I am right now mentally or physically. Yoshukai has taught me how my mind can tell me how to fight through the pain. You can accomplish anything if you tell your mind to do it.

Mr. Stone
Yoshukai Karate training instills many different values in its students. Most prevalent among these values are patience, discipline, and respect. I have been studying Yoshukai karate for over 20 years now and I know that these values have been ingrained in me through my karate training. I owe a lot to Sensei Dugan and to Yoshukai karate. Without the discipline and patience of karate training I would not be the person I am today.

Karate has given me many things like strength, respect, and perseverance through many tasks. In our dojo beliefs it says to use these beliefs in the dojo and in everyday life. That is what I’m going to do with all of the stuff l have learned in karate. Thank you Sensei Dugan and Dugan Sensei!

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.
