The ability to concentrate is key to any Karate practitioner striving to reach their peak performance.

If you have two people with equal skill and ability, it is always the one who is best focused who will be the one to prevail. Concentration means focusing attention on what you are doing regardless of external, and sometimes internal, distractions.

karateka who are skilled at concentrating have the ability to focus on the task at hand.

One of the most important skills to develop concentration is Meditation which sometimes involves sitting alone in a dark room, closing your eyes and focusing intently on a single stimulus, such as breathing, while doing your best to block out all other thoughts.

As an adult, a professional, immersed in the complex problems of life, too often something is not quite right.

Your mind may be weighed down with stress, your body is feeling its effects, you may get irritated, angry at minor issues. Can you concentrate on a single issue without your thoughts wandering in a hundred directions? If that sounds like you, you may benefit from Karate Lessons, designed specially for adults between the age of 18-65, the lessons are aimed at people who used to do Karate, or have never taken Karate lessons in their life and have always wanted to enrol in a Karate class but never did.
