attitudes

self-esteem
At IMA,
students learn a dynamic and powerful, traditional martial art. They learn how tremendous power and
discipline can be achieved through correct breathing, coordination of movement, and concentration. Students
will gain mastery over their own bodies, which helps not only in self-defense situations, but also in
everyday life.
But
karate training at IMA is much more than just a physical experience. It is a complete discipline that
involves the heart and the spirit, as well as the physical body. By training the body, we can discipline the
mind and temper the spirit. The most important goal of karate is to develop a balance within ourselves so
that we may express our true nature and become better human beings.
Choosing
a karate school (dojo) is a very important step for every karate student. You need to be sure that you find
the place that is right for you and your family. IMA provides a dojo where the training is serious and the
atmosphere is friendly and supportive. Each student at IMA is able to progress at his or her own rate.
Here, a student’s rate of advancement depends on personal ability and, more important, on the level of
commitment to training.

the traditional Shotokan “dojo kun,” or karate school affirmations, in all of its classes, to remind
students to carry the physical, mental, and spiritual discipline and benefits with them out of the dojo and
into their everyday lives. The IMA family has added a final affirmation to the traditional list, to
