TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


Welcome To the Exciting World of Martial Arts!!!
Dear Parent/student

Thank you for joining TEKKI KARATE CENTRE. Were proud to have you
as a student and look forward to working with you for many years to
come as you progress to your black belt and beyond.
This handbook is designed to help orientate you with the traditions of
the martial arts and rules that are specific to our Karate centre and it
will give you a brief introduction to the formalities, rituals, rules and
regulations with which you are to comply.
As an official student of Tekki Karate Centre, it is important that you
maintain high ethical standards and inspire others by your actions.
The road to mastery of the art requires the practitioner to balance the
physical lessons with the equally important mental characteristics of
patience, humility, self-control, perseverance, concentration, and
respect.
Gradually, the lessons of the Do Jo begin to color other aspects of your
life.
The Karate student learns to seek more from themselves in a broader
arena. One becomes better able to meet and surpass the challenges of
one's profession.
Of course, you may always call or speak to me anytime, I will be happy
to help you get the most out of your training with us.

Wishing You All the Best

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE

Uniform (Gi)
The uniform used in our karate training is called a Gi
(pronounced gee).
Student uniforms are usually a blend of cotton and poly
and therefore have very limited amount of shrinkage.
The Gi consists of pants, a top and a belt (Obi in
Japanese). The pants should be fairly loose fitting to
enable proper flexibility and kicking techniques. The top
has ties on each side that are fastened using a simple bow
(shoe knot). The left side is tied first so that the right side
of the uniform is under the left side. This will allow the
Association patch which is worm on the left breast to
show.
The belt, which has a symbolic nature, is worn by placing
its center at the navel and wrapping both sides around
the back and then around to the front. The right side is
crossed over the left side and a square knot tied which
encases both layers of belt.
Please see the next page for illustrated step by step
instructions on tying the belt.
All beginning students (unless they have earned rank in
another system and approved by Instructor) start with a
white belt.
Please see the section on belt levels which explains the
belt ranking system for the various classes.

Students should wear their Gi for every class.

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


The Gi should be washed regularly and neatly ironed.
The Association Patch should be attached to the Gi.
Boys should only wear a white vest inside the Gi
(other color T-shirts not allowed).
Girls are allowed to wear white color collarless shirts
inside the Gi.

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE

The Golden Rule


Help others and you will reward yourself. You can become
a success by helping others to achieve success. One of the
greatest things at TEKKI KARATE CENTRE is the friends you
find. We teach because we love it!

Student Prayer

(Compulsory at the end of the class)

Student Qualities
A student of TEKKI KARATE CENTRE must develop
these qualities:
1. Respect and Courtesy:
The utmost respect must be given to ones Country, Flag,
Parents, and Tekki Karate centre Instructors. Courtesy and
respect should be extended to all fellow humans and
particularly to those of older age. It is mandatory that

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


students be courteous and respectful of each other,
particularly those of higher ranking belts.
2. Modesty:
Tekki Karate centre students are expected to be humble
about their accomplishments. Bullies and braggarts have
no place in Tekki Karate Centre. One should have a quiet
feeling of pride in his achievements but need not feel
compelled to advertise these accomplishments.
3. Self Control:
One should never lose his or her temper. Ones skills are
seriously diminished if controls over emotions are lost.
Moreover, one should never use Karate-Do except in self
defense.
4. Perseverance:
It is normal to become discouraged occasionally,
particularly when pursuing and activity sufficiently
challenging to be truly worthwhile.
However, one should persevere until mastery is
accomplished. Never quit, never give up.
5. Indomitable Spirit:
This is an expansion of all the other points in Japanese
Shotokan Do doctrine. A Karate Do person should use his
skills and education to fight injustice. One should strive to
overcome personal weakness in all areas of life and be a
credit always to himself and his art.
ETIQUETTE WITHIN THE DOJO (CLASS)
Some rules of the road

In any karate dojo, one of the most important rules of


etiquette is behavior.

10

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


Since by nature we all learn by trial and error, many
things will be forgiven in a dojo, but bad behavior is
definitely not one of them. This rule applies to every
student within the dojo society regardless of their rank, in
fact the higher the rank, the less tolerance there is for
any breach of etiquette what so ever. Starting with the
"sensei" or "teacher" down through the "sempai's" or
"assistants" in the black belt ranks, and then finally
through the "kyu" or colored belt ranks, known as "kohai"
it is the responsibility of each student to make sure that
those who follow in their footsteps, do so with the highest
possible level of personal behavior. It is very important to
remember, however, that correction for acts of
misbehavior always come from the top down, not the
bottom up.
Entering the dojo
The first lesson you will ever learn once you have been
accepted into any karate school is how to enter and exit
the "dojo" or "training hall" properly.
Prior to entering the dojo for the first time a senior
student or Sempai will usually instruct you in the art of
"bowing in". Every karate dojo in the world has a shrine at
the designated front of the dojo, this is referred to as
the "Shomen" and regardless of how many times you
enter or leave the dojo during the course of your daily
training, and you must always bow to the "Shomen" first.
This is done by standing at the dojo entrance and facing
towards the "Shomen", be sure that your feet are
together, keep your legs straight, your arms should be at
your sides and touching the sides of your thighs, your
hands should be open and facing downward along the
seam of your gi with your fingers and thumb together. To
bow, bend forward at the waist to about 45 degrees, keep
your eyes looking downward and do not let your arms
move or leave your side, pause for a second at the bottom
11

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


of the bow then unbend. The entire bow should take only
a few seconds, but it should be performed with the utmost
courtesy and respect.
Remember:
"In order to bow well physically,
You must first learn how to bow well in your mind".

Should you ever find yourself entering or leaving the dojo


with a large group of students, do not push or shove, but
instead patiently wait your turn. If the opportunity
presents its self always allow those senior students in the
group to enter or exit the dojo first, since in a karate dojo
everything is dictated by your rank within the dojo
society.
Arriving late
In a karate dojo, as is it is in life, it is very bad manners to
be late.
Sometimes, however, this may be unavoidable, in which
case you will be required to bow in quietly and then kneel
in seiza just to one side of the dojo entrance. If you arrive
while everyone else is also kneeling in seiza or reciting
the dojo kun, do not make any noise what so ever, just
wait quietly until the sensei or senior instructor
acknowledges you and invites you to join the class. This
may not happen right away, and it is important to
remember that you must remain kneeling where you are
until your are invited in, at which time you may be asked
to perform some task as a penance for being late.
Once you are invited to join the class, you must first bow
while still kneeling, then get up quickly and join the class
by finding a place in the last row unless some other space
is indicated to you. This may or may not be your normal
place of rank within that particular class, but as I
mentioned earlier, in a karate dojo as in life, arriving late
usually requires you to pay a price for your tardiness.
12

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


The line up
At the beginning of each class you will hear the most
senior student present call, line up. Upon hearing this
command you must move quickly and quietly to stand in
"heisoku dachi" or "informal stance" at your appropriate
place of rank within that particular class. Depending on
the size of the class you will often find that your place
within the rank of students will vary from class to class.
This is to be expected since the more senior students
there are in a class, the further down the line you will be.
The lineup is done in rank order from right to left facing
the "Shomen" or the front of the dojo. As a result unless
you are actually teaching the class, you will always have a
more senior student to your immediate right, this could
even be a student who wears the same color of belt as
you, but who would have achieved that rank before you
did. To your immediate left you will then find a student of
similar or lesser rank and so on down the line until finally
at the end of the line you will find the newest or most
junior student in the class. If you are ever required to
start a new row due to the number of students ahead of
you, be sure to start the row by standing behind the
student on the extreme right end of the line in front of
you, be sure that the line you start is of the same width as
those in front of you, and that you are lined up directly
behind the student in front of you.
One day, if you train long enough and hard enough, you
too may find that it is your turn to give the command,
"line up".
Everyone starts at the bottom
Upon joining a karate dojo you will find that no one gets
special treatment.
13

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


Everyone starts at the bottom. By that I mean that even
the President of a large company who may be well known
and respected, or for that matter even your boss at your
place of work; if he or she were to join your dojo they
would find that despite their rank within the business
community, even they cannot simply join a dojo and
without any previous training move to the head of the line
just because of their status, or wealth outside of the dojo.
Like I said, in a karate dojo everyone starts at the bottom
- where you go from there is entirely up to you.
The standing bow
The single most important technique in Shotokan karate is
the bow.
The standing bow for example, is used not only to bow
into and out of the dojo at the beginning or end of each
class, but it is also used for example when bowing to
another student, or an instructor before performing any
form of partner training. The standing bow is also
performed prior to the beginning of each kata, and at the
end of each kata, and it must never be omitted or
performed casually as it is extremely important that all of
your karate training and all of your katas begin and end
with courtesy. Starting from a "heiko dachi" or "ready
stance" bring your feet together while at the same time
bringing your hands to your sides so you are now in
"heisoku dachi" or "informal attention stance" remember,
when bowing bend forward at the waist to about 45
degrees without letting your arms move or leave your
side, pause for a second, then unbend. The entire bow
should take only a few seconds, but it should always be
performed with the utmost courtesy and respect.
Remember:
"In order to bow well physically,
You must first learn how to bow well in your mind".
14

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


If you find yourself bowing to a partner always keep your
eyes focused on theirs, however, when bowing to your
sensei or to the Shomen always be sure that your eyes are
looking downward.
Seiza
The "seiza" or "kneeling position" for a while is a very
common occurrence, is used most often at the beginning
and the end of each class, or when you are instructed to
sit and watch a demonstration of some kind.
To get into the seiza position from an attention stance,
bend down on the Knee balls of both feet then first place
your left knee on the ground, then your right knee, then
sit down and tuck your feet underneath you. Be sure and
always keep your back straight and your shoulders
relaxed when sitting in seiza and your knees should be
aligned with, but not touching, the knees of the person on
your right or your left. Rest your open hands comfortably
on the upper portion of your thighs with your fingers and
thumb together and pointed slightly inward.
Proper posture in seiza is very important, and for
anatomical reasons male students should have about a 12
inch to 14 inch width between their knees, while female
students should have their knees together.
Bowing in seiza
At the beginning of each class prior and to any form of
training, the entire class will kneel in the seiza position
and bow in turn to the Shomen and then to the sensei.
The first bow is to the Shomen and the shrine at the front
of the dojo. This is done in rank order at the command,
Shomen ni rei this first bow is done as a sign of deep
respect to the memory of the long line of Masters and
Sensei who came before you and who in turn passed the
art of Shotokan karate down to your sensei.
15

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


This second bow is to your sensei. This is done in rank
order at the command, Sensei ni rei this done as a sign
of deep respect to your sensei without whom there would
be no dojo for you to train in and therefore no one who
could pass the art of karate on to you. In return, the
sensei bows to the entire class as a sign of deep respect
to the students who come to train, because without
students to teach there would be no one for the sensei to
pass his or her knowledge on to.
The Third Bow is to the Dojo, at the command of Dojo
rei
Mokusoh
This is the command to meditate.
When mokusoh is called, you must close your eyes,
lower your gaze, tuck your chin in towards your chest,
relax and quietly begin taking long slow breaths in
through your nose and out through your mouth. It is
important to learn to breathe not just with the upper
portion of your lungs but also from your lower abdomen or
hara as the Japanese call it. Your "hara" is the lowest
part of you abdomen and is located approximately three
fingers widths below your navel. By learning to breathe
from here you will develop greater power and speed as
your karate training progresses.
It is during this meditative process that you want to
quiet your mind and to try and rid yourself of all
thoughts unrelated to your karate training, you must seek
to find an inner sense of peace, or a relaxed state of
being, this will help you to stay focused throughout the
training that is about to begin.
Remember:
"In order to train successfully in the dojo,
You must first have a dojo mind".

16

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


If you use the time spent in mokusoh to properly focus
your mind prior to each class, you will over time in all
likelihood notice a definite increase in the quality of your
techniques.
Mokusoh yame
This is the command to stop meditating.
When mokusoh yame is called opens your eyes
immediately and sit up straight. When your turn comes
quickly rise up by starting with your right foot, then your
left foot and stand in "heiko dachi" or "ready stance" and
await further instructions.
Student creed / prayer
After the ritual of bowing and mokusoh is complete in
many karate dojos the class will recite the dojo Kun or
dojo creed.
We thank you God, for having given us the strength to

practice the Martial Arts of Karate-Do. I promise I will not


use it on anybody unless my life or the life of another is in
danger.
It is important that you believe in what you say, and you
must then use this belief to help you do your very best,
not only in the training that lies ahead but also in your
daily life outside of the dojo.
Etiquette during class
Once the training starts it is very important to put aside
all unrelated thoughts. You must make every effort to only
concentrate on the specific task at hand and especially on
17

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


improving the quality of your own techniques. On "seeing"
what cannot be seen. In the beginning this will be a very
hard concept for you to grasp but you must push yourself
both physical as well as mentally if your karate is ever
going to improve. In short, "always do your best". In fact
to do otherwise would be disrespectful not only to
yourself, but also to your classmates and your instructor
who have come to train you.
When moving from one area of the dojo to another always
do it quickly and quietly. When changing positions in line
be sure not to cut through the lines or to pass in front of
anyone else, instead go behind and around them.
Whenever you watch a demonstration, do so respectfully
and silently, without leaning on the walls or doing
anything that would distract others. If you have a
questions about any of the techniques that are being
taught during class never call out, instead always raise
your hand and wait to be acknowledged, and then ask
your question in the politest possible terms.
When training with a partner always be sure and bow
properly before you begin and after you finish youre
training together. This applies every time you change
partners regardless of their rank.
Kiai
Sooner or later you will learn to perform a kiai or "spirit
cry".
A kiai is not unique to karate, but it is a sound that will be
unique to each individual student. This sound does not
come from the throat, but instead it originates deep in
your abdomen or "tanden" and is usually expressed during
the maximum point of attack or defence in all Shotokan
katas. In the beginning most students will simply say the
word kiai but in fact "kiai" is simply a Japanese word
that when translated into English literally means, yell.
So what is a kiai?
18

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


My personal definition of a kiai is as follows: a kiai is a unique,
personal vocalization, brought about by a strong emotional
feeling."
In karate a kiai is most often used at the moment when
the students maximum physical, mental and or spiritual
power is required in combination with a specific
movement or technique. What you will learn to do over
the course of your training, is to draw on all your mental,
physical and spiritual energy and focus and release this
energy for maximum power and effect at the appropriate
moment in your kata or during class.
Dont be afraid to kiai loudly.
The overall tone of a class is often set by the level of spirit
in the class, which can often be raised with a strong kiai
on your part. So you if you have a strong kiai it will often
spur others to work harder as well. On the other hand, if
your spirit is poor, or your kiai weak, you might actually
bring down the class spirit, so always do your very best.
In the end your own personal kiai will be as unique as you
are, never be embarrassed by what you think it sounds
like, if there is spirit and conviction in your actions then
your kiai will always be strong.

The end of class


Please follow the same as mentioned from the seiza
section above.
19

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


The end
If you keep these simple rules in mind then your
experiences within the dojo will be much more enjoyable,
and your fellow students will hold you in much higher
regard for your efforts.
Remember
A good effort is the result of having the proper mental attitude.

PART THE CLOUD-SEEK THE WAY


"The objective of karate-do is to contribute to the evolution
of the human spirit through physical and mental training."

HISTORY OF SHOTOKAN KARATE


Shotokan Karate is a form of unarmed combat - "Karate"
means "empty hand". However the "karate-ka" also uses
their feet, knees and elbows. Karate as a martial art was
cultivated in the island of Okinawa, south of mainland
Japan. After many years, the development of Karate as a
20

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


means of self defence gained tremendous popularity, as
the Japanese government on the island had prohibited the
use of weapons. Because of this national policy, the self
defence techniques were developed into a unique
Okinawan martial art of "Karate" or "empty hand". In
1922, Master Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan
Karate, introduced Karate to mainland Japan during the
first National Athletic Exhibition held in Tokyo. The
demonstration turned out to be a great success due to the
inspiring personality of Master Funakoshi. He taught only
one method, a total discipline, which represented a
mixture of Okinawan styles. This method became known
as Shotokan, which literally means "Pine waves Hall"

SENSEI GICHIN FUNAKOSHI

Master Gichin Funakoshi is widely


considered the primary "father" of modern karate due to
his efforts to introduce the Okinawan art to mainland
Japan, from where it spread to the rest of the world.
Funakoshi Gichin was also the founder of what is now
known as Shotokan karate. His style of karate originated
from him having trained under two famous Okinawan
karate masters, Yasatsune Azato and Anko Itosu. After
being observed by the Japanese Minister of Education
during a karate demonstration, Funakoshi was asked to
bring his karate to Japan for instruction in the universities
there. His introduction of the previously "secret" art of
karate allowed the martial arts to grow to previously
unheard of numbers. In 1936, Japanese karate-ka
21

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


gathered donations to build the first official karate dojo,
which they named Shotokan in honor of Funakoshi Sensei.

psychologist

-Gichin Funakoshi

From a licensed psychologist, psychology professor, black belt instructor


and a martial arts researcher - Thomas J. Nardi:

As a psychologist, I have found that karate training often provides


many benefits to youngsters beyond that offered by other sports. The
introverted youngster often begins to blossom when he or she learns
karate. The structured drills that involve punching, kicking, and yelling
help the youngster overcome shyness and timidity. The anxious or
worried child becomes more confident and assertive as he learns to
move and control his body. He or she learns to work and compete with
others in a friendly and safe environment. Self-confidence and selfesteem grow. Many parents report a marked increase in the childs
social interactions. The youngster feels less threatened by other
children or new situations. As a result, there is often more of a
willingness to become more involved with others.
The extroverted youngster has a safe, healthy outlet in which to
compete with himself and others. Youngsters are taught how to avoid
trouble and challenges. They learn to have enough self-confidence that
they need not respond to teasing or provocation from peers.
The aggressive child is taught the self-discipline that aids in keeping
anger under control. He or she learns that fighting is merely a way of
showing off and that showing off is a sign of low self-esteem and a lack
of self-confidence.
Karate training is a gross motor activity that helps youngsters develops
a sense of integrity about their bodies. Balance, coordination, posture,
and general movements improve with karate training. The pre22

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


adolescent, in particular, finds that karate training helps him or her
cope with the clumsiness that often accompanies the spurt of growth
at this age.
Karate also offers an additional bonus that other sports do not provide.
Karate teaches self-defense. In the unsettling times in which we live,
knowledge of how to protect oneself can be crucial. Parents often
report feeling more secure knowing their sons or daughters are
capable of defending themselves.
Encourage and support your youngsters involvement. You will be
pleasantly surprised with the results. And, who knows, you may want
to try a class yourself!

Frequently asked questions


Que 1: What are the benefits of learning Karate?
Ans: Cardiovascular fitness is a major benefit; large
portions of each martial arts class are aerobic-type
activities in which children must breathe properly, thus
pushing oxygen to all parts of the body. This helps and
increases the child's breathing techniques and strength
with in the lungs itself therefore strengthening the
oxygen supply to the body. Muscular strength, increases
with consistent low impact exercises and techniques. The
martial arts develops strong arms, legs a torso muscles,
these muscles are vital for the balance and stability of the
child as they play and grow in everyday life. A strong
balanced child, is far less likely to fall or loss balance,
than a child with a under developed muscular system.
Quick reflexes, some people are born with naturally quick
reflexes, but most have to develop them. Many times
people have saved a falling glass etc that has been
knocked off the table, before its smashes on the floor, and
thanked their quick reflexes. These quick and lightning
reflexes are developed through sports and especially the
23

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


Martial Arts. Classes present many opportunities for
children to improve their own reflexes are they react to
the drills in class, their partners moves and to the
commands of the class instructor. Many training drill are
specifically design to improve alertness and reflexes.
Flexibility, we have all seen our children amaze us with
their exhibitions of flexibly when they are young. As
children grow, their bodies change and their legs often
grow faster than their torsos. Normal play activities don't
always keep the muscles and ligaments limber and
flexible during this time of growth. Martial Arts classes
include simple stretches and warm ups which help keep
children limber, and over a period of time, can re-create
their earlier flexibility. Increased flexibility enhances
children's abilities to play, jump, climb, run, skate and
walk, and it also lessons the chance of injury.
Coordination, as well as reflexes, flexibility and fitness
the martial arts also improves coordination, taking classes
throughout their childhood helps children to work through
the awkward growth stages, to continually make
adjustments to their ever changing bodies. In class they
learn a variety of basic footwork, kicks, punches and
blocks, these are all put together in sequences which
improve focus, discipline, control and coordination. Once
these basic moves are refined and coordination is
improving more advanced moves are introduced such as
rolls, throws and break falling, these moves takes the
child's coordination to new higher level.

Que 2: How long does it take to get black belt?


Ans: It usually takes around 3-4 years, depending on the
advancement, understanding and training of the student.
It is a misconception amongst many people that black belt
is the end to karate and that is exactly why this question
is a very frequently asked question.
24

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


In fact reaching black belt is just like completing your
schooling and you have entered your Higher education. So
the actual Karate begins from BLACK BELT.
It is important to start off karate with the benchmark of
attaining Black belt and then progress ahead. Karate is a
never ending learning process.

Que 3: Will my children get hurt?


Ans: Well, the answer is yes. They will definitely get hurt,
just as the same possibility level of getting hurt when the
kid is at home or at school. There is no difference. Can you
be sure if your kid will not get hurt at home when you are
around or at school when their teacher is around?
At TEKKI KARATE CENTRE we follow a sport based semi
contact martial arts. They are trained to practice in such a
way that it is totally safe and minimizes the risk of any
injuries. Accidental injuries may occur. The best way to
avoid getting hurt is to follow what the sensei instructs.
This is a simple solution that usually many karatekas fail
to follow. When sprains, sore muscles and clumsiness
often become the reason why one gets hurt, usually its
because the warm-ups are taken for granted. Warm-ups
are intended to loosen up the muscles and prepare them
for vigorous training. The muscles go through a shock
when introduced to intense movements right away. The
types of injuries we see most often include blisters on the
feet (from moving on the floor), sprains, muscle pulls,
bruises, tweaked backs and knees, etc.

Que 3: I am afraid my child will use their karate on
brothers, sisters, or at school?
Ans: This is a very important concern. At TEKKI KARATE
CENTRE, we stress to each and every student that they are
never to misuse their martial arts. As a matter of fact,
every student in our academy must keep this promise or
they are asked to leave. At TEKKI KARATE CENTRE, it is our
goal to instill excellent character qualities, including;
patience, control, and self-discipline we are a leadership
and life skills academy. Our focus is on confidence, self
discipline, and becoming leaders.
Over a period of regular training we develop high level of
tolerance and patience.

Que 4: How often do we have to attend the class?


Ans: Globally Shotokan karate requires 2 classes (of
minimum 1 hour) per week to complete the scheduled
syllabus for each student. (2days a week is a common
practice in Oman as well). This is where we have an
advantage at TEKKI KARATE CENTRE. Where we have 3
classes (1 and half hour) per week. So even if the student
misses few classes they still have the advantage of an
extra class per week. This is a privilege we enjoy and
utilize for other activities in class.

Recommendation
Unlike classroom at school where lesser the students more attention from
the teacher, at karate class it is the opposite.
More the students (within the capacity of the hall) the better the learning
and training for the karate student.
More students enrollment helps in the growth of the karate centre and the
growth of the student. Student gets the advantage of training against various
types of opponents and better exposure to more self defense. Thus it is
70

TEKKI KARATE CENTRE


important that more student are introduced into this world of martial arts,
friends, neighbors, school mates, children of colleagues etc are always a
very good source of recommendation.
I am glad to inform that 80% of the students at Tekki Karate Centre are
enrolled by the recommendation of the existing students.
We wish to thank you by providing a special incentive for your valuable
recommendation.
