KYOSHI ANTHONY FERGUSON 8th Degree Black Belt SHORIN RYU KARATE & STUDENT PERFORMS FUKYUGATA ICHI. Fukyugata Ichi created by Shoshin Nagamine (Shorin Ryu Matsubayashi-Ryu) is a beginner kata because the more traditional kata were seen to be too difficult for beginners. Introduced in 1941 in order to promote a basic and standard kata across a majority of Okinawan Karate styles, the kata teaches the students blocks and punches from a natural and front leg bent stance. I am continuing the tradition of teaching this kata to my students. Traditional Karate will teach the whole person - body, mind and spirit. It is also a great physical exercise and self-defense training. He/she will develop mental toughness along with better concentration and discipline. Their spirit will grow stronger; improving self-confidence and self-esteem. My curriculum is age-appropriate. I am a certified master instructor in karate and strive to make a positive difference in children life by teaching them so much more than self-defense. They Develop Self-Confidence and Stay in Control in Stressful Situations. They’re More Disciplined and Self-Motivated. They’re Coordinated and Healthy. They Learn to Follow Directions and Integrate Thought and Action. They’re Characterized by Good Grades and Have Become Excellent Students. They’re Well Behaved, They Stay in School and Out of Trouble. They Learn Respect for Others and Social Cooperation. Independent studies show that today’s martial arts students get better grades, get in less trouble and are more motivated and disciplined than your average kids. More than 5.7 million American children are estimated to be a bully, a target of a bully or both! Martial arts is the solution for bullies because it channels their aggressiveness and anger into a healthful physical activity, discipline and a positive attitude. Martial arts is the solution for bullied children because it replaces their insecurity and low self-esteem with confidence and a greater self-worth. Responsible parents encourage martial arts because it provides their children with the skills and attitude to stop bullying before it starts. Please visit my website. Thank you for your support.
