Sensei Dale Coker Founder Japan Karate Institute Chief Instructor
The attitude of never giving up applies whether you're a first day white belt trying to throw ten extra punches for the first time while exhausted; or to the hightest rank black belt who is facing emotional difficulties in his home. This concept is universal, it applies to all walks of life.
Sooner or later all of us will face something in our lives that we will have to have this attitude just to survive whether for a moment, or for years.
Besides the attitude of never giving up, nothing can ever substitute instilling into your students the importance of sound fundamental basic technique.
In our system, if a person can develop one or two fantastic fundamental techniques then they will be able to protect themselves and their family.
These techniques will give them the strength to maintain their dignity, self-preservation and personal freedom.
After this many years in my art. The attitude of never giving up and sound fundamentals is my most percious gift to pass on to my students.
Never Give Up!
