There are many reasons why people are attracted to karate, whether walking into the dojo for the first time, or after many years of training. Karate as an effective combat system, sport or simply an interesting way to keep fit. Karate is often advertised for children as it promotes good discipline, confidence and social skills. Although karate can be considered an individual pursuit like yoga, running or weight lifting, we often spend time working with a partner or in small groups to practice self defence techniques, pad work and other training exercises. After time, great friendships develop, and in an international organisation like the IOGKF, some of these friendships can be with people living many miles away from each other.
In 2014, Martin and Louise traveled to Koh Samui, Thailand for a week of intensive training under Sensei George Andrews. During this trip they met Radhika Pandya and her husband Deepak. When Martin and Louise recently visited Singapore, they met up again, training together in the dojo and later for a great Szechuan meal. With great training comes great friendships that last beyond the dojo.
