This training help improve my balance and strengthen many of the muscles that I hadn’t been using, eliminating my back and neck pain that I was suffering from. The training also help me re-focus my efforts and regain much of self-discipline that I had started to lose.

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.

(1st degree black belt)

Through the mutual respect among the karateka I’ve gained respect for others and myself. What puts Yoshukai Alliance above the other styles for me is that it’s more than a school of karate, but a school of moral principles, and a family to it’s students.

(5th degree black belt)

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.

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!

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 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.

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.
