"Loyalty and Commitment"
By William Kolbert - NiDan Westport Karate Club
I train Shorin Ryu Karate under the direction of Grand Master Ueshiro and
under Kyoshi Robert Scaglione. Without the contribution and commitment of these two
outstanding karateka I would not have had the privilege of learning karate and traveling
the martial path.
All of the Sensei's in our system were brought up through this path. The
only way that we can start to repay our debt to Master Ueshiro, Kyoshi, and all of the
Sensei's is to follow their leadership and to keep training.
Every class in our system begins and ends with courtesy and respect to the
shinden. These are not empty motions, each time a class begins and ends we have an
opportunity to show respect, committment, and loyalty to all of the shinden and to
everyone on the deck. Make the most of your time on and off the deck; train hard, show
proper courtesy and enjoy yourself.
Arigato,
William Kolbert - NiDan Westport Karate Club
