The choice you make for your child.

The image is simple, but the message is not. On one side, a child sits absorbed in a screen passive, slouched, disengaged. On the other a child trains focused, disciplined, alive with intent.

The difference between those two paths is not chance, it is choice. And that choice is made long before the result is seen.

The modern distraction.... children today are growing up in a world designed to capture their attention. Screens are immediate, easy, and endlessly stimulating. Left unchecked, they become the default.

The problem is not technology itself, it is the absence of balance. I find it is a problem as an adult, so imagine a brain that is still absorbing and developing. A child who spends most of their time sedentary begins to lose more than just physical fitness. They lose structure, resilience, and the ability to engage with effort. Over time this shapes habits, and we all know habits shape identity.

Training teaches a child that growth comes from effort, not convenience. A child who trains is not just becoming stronger physically, they are becoming more capable as a human being.

Children do not choose their environment. Parents do.

There are 168 hours in a week. Training requires about 2 of those hours.
2 hours out of 168! Time is not the limitation.... priority is. That's 1.19% of the week.

The choice you make now determines the result later. Children do not drift toward the better path on their own.... They are guided there.

It is not what you can do for your child, but rather what you can teach your child to do for themselves.

Lead by example.

A huge well done and thank you to those who participated in the 100 KATA FOR KARATE DAY 2026 Challenge, Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Northern Goju Karate. The event started at 9:30am (with students arriving from 9:00am) and concluded at 2:30pm, with most students participating and completing all 100 Kata. (Some had to leave a little earlier due to other commitments on Sunday, but it was great for them to complete what they could in the time they were there).
The event was FREE and available to any of our students who wished to participate. The event recognises and pays respect to the day when 'Te' became 'Karate' on October 25, 1936, and is a Worldwide Event where participants can travel to Okinawa and partake at Naminoue Tsuji Beach, Naha, Okinawa, or participate from their own dojo, hometown, or training space anywhere in the world, and celebrate Karate Day together.
Each year, more and more participants and dojos have become involved. It began as a local Okinawan initiative and has evolved into an international movement embraced by Karate communities across dozens of countries.
The 100 KATA FOR KARATE DAY CHALLENGE is more than an endurance challenge; it showcases one's love for Karate and for Kata, and reflects the principle of Onko Chushin 温故知新, 'Honor the Past, embrace the present, shape the future'. It also celebrates perseverance, discipline, resilience, and enduring spirit.
Participants will receive their Participation Certificates at class this week. Well done again, and we look forward to seeing you at the dojo.

Looking forward to Sunday October 25, 2026. ‘100 KATA FOR KARATE DAY’See you at the dojo!
