Real freedom is when ego does not play a part in your life.

Kancho Deena Naidu

All the great masters of eastern Budo gave one clear message, "Improve the quality of your life by developing your character."

A karate teacher once said to me that I make Gogen Sensei a saint. Without Gogen sensei's total effort in learning the art and sharing it with me, I would have no knowledge. Without him teaching me discipline, and helping me develop my character, I would be lost. I found my way in this art because of him. I discovered my self and controlled my ego, through his selfless effort. The money I paid him for training has long ago shifted hands, the knowledge he gave me is still with me. So he is my saint. The day you stop being grateful to those who made effort to change your life is the day you start to die spiritually.

How to punch, kick and strike is simple. To be able to control the mind is much harder. To expand love towards those who harm you is the most difficult. To do this you are worthy of being called a karate-ka.

Karate-do means the way of karate. The way helps us change for the better. If physically you cannot do techniques well and metally you have difficulty in developing perfect discipline, develop respect for your teacher. This is Do. Gratitude shows you have respect. The way of eastern karate is is total respect. This is forever, not only when you belong to a school. When karate saves you, think who has taught you and throught what linege has this come. When your character improves, Think who has helped you to be a better person. When you develop love through the spiritual process, think who has expanded this feelings in you. Only then are you a true student of karate-do.

Human beings are so often moved by emotion and make many decisions based on this human nature. When truth finally surfaces then comes regret. Once a young man was tackled to the ground by a stranger. People were moved emotionally and started to abuse the stranger, only to find out much later that the young man had robbed an elderly person.

Most would agree that the quality of life has deteriorated, so too with Karate. Today many people are influenced by marketing and not by research, observation and experience. Karate’s holistic methods do so much good for personal development. Choosing the right teacher is so important.

A real Teacher leads by example and has to live this part. Many instructors however feel they do not have to lead by example just instruct.

Kancho Deena Naidu

A karate teacher (traditional) is different to a karate instructor (modern). Most instructors are a source for fitness development whereas a Karate teacher improves the finesse of your techniques. There is a big difference between the two, like day and night. Only those who had the teachings from a real teacher and observed an instructor know the difference.
