“Not to conquer others, but to conquer the weakness within oneselfâ€...this is the purpose of Hei-Wado karate training at Japan Karate Institute Daniel Island. As a traditional dojo, the aim of our instruction is to develop respect, focus, discipline and self-esteem in our students. We do not teach “how to fight†nor do we promote violence as a way to handle confrontation. Using centuries-old techniques and methods, the karate-ka (practitioners of karate) who train in our dojo not only learn a practical, potentially lethal and highly effective form of martial art, they also learn the humbleness, respect and responsibility that is required when attaining such skills.
