Reiwaryu Ryushinkan - Our Philosophy

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND OUR TRAINING


Ryushinkan Karate-Do England is very much considered a traditional School of Karate.

For the student this ensures that each individual will be treated with respect, and given every available resource from the teacher to achieve and progress in a positive training environment. When the style of Reiwaryu was first introduced to the UK, it was the foremost vision of our founding teacher, Connolly Kyoshi that Karate practice should be a vehicle for establishing personal development, strengthening the community and creating awareness of the self and others. Kyoshi Connolly organised the UK school as non profit making. He focused our efforts on principles, and steered away from the modern ‘quick fix society’ that focuses on profit and instant gratification.
 
These principles, to a greater or lesser extent, exist within any traditional martial art. In particular, our school is centred on the idea of spirituality through self reflection (meditation), drawing awareness to one’s own weaknesses. Although Karate has a hierarchy, the practice is actually based on mutual respect and equality. The teacher must learn from the beginner as the beginner must learn from the teacher.
 
Bushido, originally the code of the Samurai, features much in the school's Dojo Kun as well as in the name of the style Reiwaryu ‘Rei 礼’ the 4th virtue of Bushido.
 
Students should apply the martial ideal of KarateDo becoming a way of life (Budo) to their own journey. In the modern world.

Applying the traditional values of any martial art should complement one’s life if studied and practiced with honesty, integrity and compassion.

Alongside increased physical ability, coordination and fitness, children who practice Karate should see improvement in their school work, behaviour and social development. Adults who practice Karate often say that they expected to improve their health but also find that their concentration, energy levels and personal relationships are greatly improved.
