MASTERCLASS SEMINAR SERIES

Yahara 1st USA SEMINAR

(4 Volume Set 90 min each)

By Mikio Yahara

Yahara Sensei's karate philosophy is based on the conviction that karate is an art dedicated to developing ippon technique- the ability to deliver a single killing blow, and that Budo is founded on the ability to stake one’s life in a split second executing an offensive or defensive technique. We strive towards these goals, which are very different from the types of sports karate that are increasingly commonplace.
