Discipline and the willingness to win In 2004, we launched our karate sessions with the help of Sensei Ron Awa and Sempai Mike Kaneko. Our Iwilei Dojo is officially registered with the Shotokan Karate International Federation and competes annually in the SKIF Hawaii tournament. In 2009, the international SKIF tournament – held only every four years – is being held in Greece. Two days a week, the SSFM International lunch room transforms into dojo. Flying kicks, fists, belts of all colors and “Ki-ai!” ring throughout our offices. Karate teaches us self-defense and conditioning. Yet the benefits go far beyond. Karate helps us work towards perfection of character and builds self-confidence, respect for others and humility. |
