The ultimate goal of Yoshukai Karate is character development, which has definitely proven true to me. Yoshukai made me realize at an early age that I would need to put in hard work to succeed. Without that lesson, I would definitely be struggling in school.

(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.

Yoshukai Karate has been a great experience, and has helped me get over some fears, and increased my self-confidence.

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.

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.

I chose Yoshukai Karate because it is a traditional Japanese hard-style of martial arts. I enjoy the workouts and the study of traditional Japanese weaponry. Sensei Dugan is a great instructor that teaches this style of martial art because of his passion and belief in Yoshukai Karate.

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.
