After thirty plus years of teaching martial arts to students from age three to eighty, my conclusion is that the benefits to every age has been nothing less than astonishing!

I had the privilege of training under Kancho Kanazawa in many occasions both in US and Japan since late 80’s. Aside from being one of the most knowledgeable and respected Karate masters in the world, he is also a very humble and soft-spoken man. Here is a quote from him; “ my philosophy is that I try always to be true to myself and others. I can say that I fear nothing - not even death, and this I do not say in a big-headed or conceited way. My meaning is that I always try my best in everything I do, so I will be satisfied when I do die. Also I truly believe that life continues after physical death- all life continues. Life is a circle.”
