“What is Taishin Karate?”

Taishin Karate is a method of empty handed self-defense that utilizes evasive yet powerful techniques for the purpose of self-preservation.  In addition, Taishin Karate emphasizes balance between the physical and mental components of a person’s life, creating the harmony so essential to good health. 

The word Taishin can be translated as Tai (pronounced tie) meaning to endure/preserve and Shin meaning the heart or inner core of a being.  Karate literally means empty hand.  When these are combined the essence of our style is presented.  An individual endures the trials and tests of karate training and life to become a better, more centered person with a gentler yet prepared nature.  The inner person is transformed by the challenges that he or she overcomes. 

Training…..

Training in Taishin Karate involves performing repetitive movements using kicks, strikes, punches and blocks.  These movements are committed to mental and muscle memory for the purpose of self-defense.  However, the benefits of Taishin training go further than simply learning self-defense.

Classes also incorporate physical training, with an emphasis on core strengthening and traditional upper and lower body exercises.  Drills, games and training all work to improve the student’s level of physical fitness.  We also perform body training in order to slowly and safely toughen the students’ arms, legs and bodies in order to more realistically train in a marital art. 

Students also gain an edge mentally by learning how to focus, concentrate and persevere through challenges in karate as well as in school or at work.  An exciting combination of fun, exercise and traditional karate training make the Lincoln Karate Clinic a truly unique place to be!
