Is Karate just a sport?

[Kong Soo Do]

Love all aspects of Karate!!!!


They are all important!!! None above the other!!! Each Martial Artist can choose his/her focus!!!!

Agreed with the caveat that the student is correctly and honestly informed as to what the actual training is designed to accomplish.

It is not just a sport or combat skill, but trains ones body and mind simultaneously.

It's better to make thing simple.

If someone asks me, "What's the best MA style for spiritual development?" I would say, "All MA systems are."

After you have developed your "combat" ability, you will have better chance to help others if needed. If you can help/save even one person's life from danger, your will go to heaven after you death (if that's what spiritual development means).
