Ashihara Karate in Singapore

Ashihara Karate in Singapore Enjoy Practical Karate with us! Contemporary Japanese martial art for the modern world.

ASHIHARA KARATE is a world-renowned karate system founded by the legendary karate exponent Hideyuki Ashihara. It is often dubbed "Fighting Karate" due to its emphasis on real-world self-defence applications that are based on scientific logic and practical strategies. Techniques in Ashihara Karate are typically simple, straightforward and directly-applicable from practice, preferring a non head-on

approach and circular movements to overcome the opponent. The pleasure in studying Ashihara Karate lies in creating an enjoyable environment, where the weak and strong study together as equals, as they help each other advance step-by-step. We believe that only this way can Karate be enjoyed for a lifetime, with students continuously growing their bodies, minds and spirits. Ashihara Karate is the pursuit of personal development through fostering practical self-defence skills, while taking into account the realities of modern living. This is what makes Ashihara Karate truly a 'practical karate' to be enjoyed by all.

A little sidestep gets you out of the line of fire.
And since you're making and advance,
Throw in some simple combinations for good measure!

There aren't many instances where violence is the answer.
When it is, it's the last resort to protect yourself from harm,
And to push yourself to grow stronger than you were.
And who's better to teach about violence to your child than you?

Every Apr 24th celebrates the life and legacy of the Founder since his passing,
And every year we wonder about the best way to honor his memory.
The late Founder was a maverick of his time,
Setting a unique path of what he thought Karate should be-
Practical to the context of the real world we live in,
Scientific in its approach against violence,
And open for anyone to better themselves and the community through continuously challenging themselves and making the trip experience enjoyable.
His legacy lives on through us, his students,
And us, the next generation of senior practitioners upholding the mantle of the beautiful art.
This month on, we spent time amongst senior members to reflect upon what it means to be good ambassadors of the Founder's legacy,
And realize that it's up to us all to build and support our little community in the generations to come.
A place where people grow by making Karate enjoyable,
That's our journey together.
"Smiling faces, challenging spirits."
OSU!

Practical Karate classes always end with "free play",
Where the coach gives an objective and the participants do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Know a technique? Use it.
Can't make it work? Think on your feet.
Explore what makes a person tumble.
Learn to adapt to the situation.
