Why you have to learn karate?
Martial art is already a part of my life since I was a kid. I firstly learn karate just for funs with my friends, but later on I started to love it and motivated to keep learning it more seriously. While my friends, one by one disappeared and then stop practicing karate. On those days, we are more focus to learn the basics of karate like "kihon" and "kata". While for "kumite" or fighting techniques’ we often have to learn it in our own way. After finish my senior high school inTomohon city, I went to Bali island to continue my study at PPLP Dhyana Pura (now Undhira). But then I was thought to "retire" from Karate due to wanting to concentrate on studying. A few years later, I come home, back to my beautiful city, in Tomohon, North Sulawesi. And to make a long story short...I open a dojo to teach karate for students and youth. Since then, I have a few dojos with more students in Tomohon city to teach this Japanese martial art.
