It’s important to know the genealogy of Shotokan-Ryu in addition to your own training. My sensei made this 6-28-90. I updated and recreated it digitally. #cnuddekarate #fska #shotokan #funakoshi #salinas #karate #shotokankarate #salinasfska #genealogy @ Cnudde Karate

I’ve had this gi for a long time. This gi came to me from a former student, Dr. Malcolm Lowe, who passed away from cancer. He graciously donated this gi, and a couple others to our dojo. #cnuddekarate #shotokan #salinas #salinasfska #fska #fightcancer #cancersucks

I’m happy to congratulate Kevan for coming in first place at the FSKA Annual Fall Tournament in Milpitas. #fska #shotokan #karate #funakoshi #cnuddekarate #spirit #tournament @ Cupertino, California

Cnudde Karate (also known as Salinas FSKA), affiliate of FSKA has been teaching traditional karate in Salinas for 30+ years. Even more important is the proper etiquette and strong moral character that develops alongside karate as we explore the Dojo Kun and the 20 Precepts of Gichin Funakoshi. I invite you to observe and train, and decide for yourself whether karate is for you. #cnuddekarate #fska #shotokan #salinas #karate #funakoshi #gichinfunakoshi #traditionalkarate

I’m always amazed to see everyone’s progress each exam, and this one was no different. It takes dedication and commitment to train in karate - you cannot progress without both. Karate is not about moving up in rank as fast as possible. Skipping exams is natural to hone your current rank’s skills. This coming Monday will reveal our student’s new ranks. #cnuddekarate #karate #shotokan #fska #salinas #dedication #commitment

Let me tell you, or rather... let me show you how awesome our new shirts look. Going on sale Monday. My students have been asking for merch and here it is. Also, a huge thank you to #ooshirts for your unbeatable service. #cnuddekarate #karate #shotokan #salinas #fska #salinasfska @ Cnudde Karate

The great reveal coming tomorrow! It’s hard to resist showing it off tonight. #cnuddekarate

This can only be exciting! Unfortunately, the revealing is still a week or two away. #cnuddekarate #salinas #karate #shotokan

I’m extremely proud to have Abigail in my class. She came all the way up to Milpitas to train at FSKA’s headquarters. We brought what we learned there back to everyone @cnuddekarate (we forgot to take a picture at the dojo). #cnuddekarate #fska #shotokan #salinas #shotokankarate

This can only be exciting! Unfortunately, the revealing is still a week or two away. #cnuddekarate #salinas #karate #shotokan

The past few weeks of training in Milpitas with Shihan Kyle have been exhausting, yet exciting. #fska #cnuddekarate #shotokan #salinas

Seek Perfection of Character To "seek" perfection of character, you must look to all aspects of your life physical, mental, and spiritual. The karate-ka (karate student) must have a balance by training to develop the body, as well as the mind. Obstacles must be overcome, not simply be met, if you are to progress to a higher level. You must have patience. You must always strive to remain strong to your morals and values. Seeking this perfection is a life-long endeavor. The journey is the reward.

Thank you Shihan @kylefunakoshi and everyone else for your support and spirit. #fska #shotokan #cnuddekarate
