Good Morning everyone!

The Springdale Karate Club has finally made their website official. We've been working on it for a few months, and finally got something we think everyone will enjoy.

We've posted some common videos on it for the time being, and will post and replace some with our own content as we get the chance to film with our Sensei.

Have a great day and stop by and visit:

Here is our club site, that I'm building. I've included a bunch of you tube video's. I don't believe there are any legal issues, but if anyone knows of any please let me know!

have a great day!

Just a quick question to everyone.

Has anyone ever made their own training props, such as kick bags/dummies and spring loaded punching bags/dummies?

If so do you have plans or know of a site that could assist?

I would like to put some hard ware together for our dojo and students.

Thanks in advance!

I've only been a member of this site for a couple days, and have been reading through some of the posts, and watching the videos. First, of all I must say what a great site! There is a great amount of information here!

As I was reading I thought I would like to put my two cents worth in.

I have been practicing Karate for about 4 years, and am working on my Black Belt over the next year and a half.

It is my humble opinion that one must have an understanding of the philosophy behind Karate, or at least a philosophical view of life to some degree in order to latch on to subtlety of Karate.
