Christian belief
Is the mind in the head or the heart?
The teaching of Karate and Aikido Las Vegas School incorporates a Christian belief system.
Is the mind in the head or the heart?
Great question. At our Christian Martial Arts school we teach “Put God in your heart first and do the work”, meaning a heartfelt action whether a bow or basic Karate or Aikido technique. An interpretation of “sincerity” is “without corruption”; a sincere, heartfelt action comes from the heart.
Thinking too long slows the response of an action, therefore, through Faith and Disciplined sincerity, our action in Karate and Aikido become pure, clean, with no doubt and that leads to speed. These knowledge and training takes time, just like cultivating a plant, martial arts need to be cultivated just like a plant: starts with a seed on good soil, time and good care will produce good fruit.
My Karate training started in 1969 and Aikido training in 1999; opened our dojo in Las Vegas in 1994. I have been cultivating my seed with care and dedication. Our students do well in life, making good decisions and controlling themselves to always present good attitude and character everywhere all the time. Training always inside and outside the dojo; practicing the Christian way, inside and outside the dojo that is how are Christian based training differs from others; we thank our Lord Jesus Christ for everything and everyone. We pray before class and thank God for the opportunity to train.
