The Film "Searching for Martial Arts Origins" is in it's final stages of editing and will be released this year. I'm very honored to have been a part of this d...ocumentary and working with masters of a spectrum from Wushu, Karate, MMA, Wrestling, and other disciplines. I'm also very impressed with the openness the Chinese masters have displayed towards other martial arts. Through my interaction with the other masters of different styles in the documentary, we are all aiming for the same goal - using our exhausting physical training to control our emotions, striving for harmony within.

Shelter In Place Extension: As you all know, the Santa Clara County has at least one more month of shelter in place status (all of the month of May). At FSKA P...remier, we will still be offering a support system for the students, so they can confidently practice during this time of social distancing. This is an excellent time for producing more Interactive Tutorials, and continuing LIVE training sessions with the elite Senseis from Washington Shotokan Association. Besides doing brief and relatable tutorials on body mechanics for students, I haven't forgotten about the requested following kata tutorials: - Sochin - Unsu - Gojushiho Dai - Jitte - Kanku Dai - Heian Shodan - Heian Nidan - Heian Sandan Students out there practicing - keep up the excellent work with sending in your training videos for continuous progress! ~ Kyle Yoshinobu Funakoshi FSKA HQ

This is where technical inquiries can be discussed and clarified. #fska #kyuexam #danexam #onlinekarate #keepingtraditionalivewithtech #karateevolution

This does not pertain to the front-line workers (medical) combating COVID, and other essential employees assisting in our survival. Now is the time to perfect ...the challenging tasks that many of us blame lack of time for. Some of these include stretching, cardio, decluttering and organizing, certain techniques (kihon/kata), home tasks that your parents constantly remind you about, improving communication, or just simply meditating to calm your mind. See you guys in class after the mandates are lifted! #time

Shihan tech tip: Shodan and Nidan Exam Kihon. Intended for purple belt students stepping in to the Brown belt level. Supervised by Kancho Funakoshi (founder FSKA).

Shihan tech tip: Han Solo style. My videographer went on strike. To flow with the viewer's thoughts, I checked in and read comments in between sets, which was ...more productive and engaging. Topics covered: - double kicks - hangetsu, empi and tekki nidan - gankaku - kanku sho - rhythm disruption using fakes - gyaku zuki sequence and kime

Shihan tech tip: Intermediate level techniques supervised by Kancho Funakoshi. During this session, my Father added commentary both technically and showing respect in and out the dojo.

1st fb live session with me and my Dad went well! Next week will be either advanced session, or open session, depending on feedback. #fskamilpitas #milpitaskarate

Testing fb live with Tobi Dolby.

Will be experimenting with fb live tomorrow. Goal is to see if fb live is clear enough for an interactive training session. If the signal is clear enough for ...fast transmission, then it will be possible for everyone to chime in and ask questions. If the signal is not fast enough, I will record tutorials for Kihon and Kata on various days so students can stay current with their training. #onlinetraining #fskamilpitas

Official statement from Shihan of FSKA Premier

To put more feeling in slow techniques, change the rhythm to fast, then slow (but smooth) and add a soft kime at the end. This will naturally add more feeling and control of body movement.

Parents, students, friends all tournaments on our calendar through 04/25/2020 have been canceled. I’ll keep all updated with any news and will look for safe alternative ways for the Dojo to compete. Thank you for your understanding and take precautions for you and family to stay healthy.

I will keep you all updated!

I DON’T PAY FOR KARATE From a Karate parent..... One of my friends asked "Why do you pay so much money and spend so much time running around for your so...n to do karate ?" Well I have a confession to make: I don't pay for Karate! I don’t pay for my son’s karate lessons. I don't pay for his mitts..... or suits or his competitions. So, if I am not paying for karate, what am I paying for? - I pay for those moments when my boy becomes so tired he feels like quitting but doesn't. - I pay for the opportunity that my boy can have and will have to make life-long friendships. - I pay for the chance that he may have amazing instructors that will teach him that karate is not just about movement but about life. - I pay for my child to learn to be disciplined. - I pay for my child to learn to take care of herself. - I pay for my child to learn to work with others and to be a proud , supportive, kind and respectful dojo member. - I pay for my child to learn to deal with disappointment, when he doesn't get that score he hoped for, or fell during a move he has practiced a thousand times, but he still gets up and is determined to do his BEST next time... - I pay for my boy to learn to make and accomplish goals. - I pay for my boy to learn that it takes hours and hours and hours and hours of hard work and practice to create a champion, and that success does not happen overnight. - I pay so that my boy can be in the dojo instead of in front of a screen... I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for karate; I pay for the opportunities that karate provides my child to develop attributes that will serve him well throughout his life and give him the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen for many, many years, I think it is a great investment! PSKO Karate Havant
