Discipline (Shitsuke 躾)

Discipline is key to sticking with training, building self-control, and staying resilient. In Japanese, 躾 (Shitsuke) reflects the idea of discipline and upbringing, especially the importance of self-discipline and good behavior. In martial arts, it highlights the value of taking responsibility for your own growth and putting in steady effort.

Karate requires you to show up consistently, follow guidance, and push through challenges, helping you grow both physically and mentally.
