One of the best ways to earn respect from others is to give respect. It’s also a key philosophy taught through karate and Japanese martial arts classes at Japan Karate-Do Cincinnati in West Chester, OH. Students of all ages learn the value of discipline through respect and responsibility – traits that will follow them throughout the rest of their lives.

It all starts with the type of classes available at Japan Karate-Do Cincinnati. Children, as well as adults, are invited to enroll in Shito-Ryu, tailored for both beginners and experienced practitioners (karateka). This style of teaching emphasizes traditional Karate-Do, which is closely linked to Kenwa Mabuni, the revered founder of Shito-Ryu. Self-defense classes and competition teams also reinforce the importance of respect and treating others how you would want to be treated.

Japan Karate-Do Cincinnati’s world-class and professionally-trained instructors carry forth the mission of giving and earning respect through superior instruction tied to mental and physical strength while developing the ability to resist peer pressure temptations. It is one of the guideposts taught by Hanshi Minobu Miki, an 8th-degree black belt and owner of the martial arts school, and Head Sensei Alex Dell, an 18-year karate champion who has competed all over the world.

Mabuni’s motto of “Kuns hi no Ken” or “The Noble Discipline” translates to working hard in order to become a respected and well-rounded person so that self-discipline helps an individual to be accountable for their actions. Japan Karate-Do Cincinnati strongly stands behind that creed as it prepares children and adults to take a different approach to understanding what respect really means.
