Karate training under the leadership of Sensei Andrew Statz, and Sensei Jim Hawkins,
helps many young people at Pacific Heights to work hard to develop their martial arts skills.
Nidan Lucas Reddy, and Shodans Chris Millard, Mitch Webb,Adam Reddy,Cara Statz…train and always find time to help those they can.
Helping others comes from a long, old tradition in martial art training, perhaps we can refer to Japan and our master Gima.
Our master Gima(Hanshi Makoto Gima) was a person of pure thought, who did not consider money, honor,
or position to be his reason for fulfillment in life. However, he did live with the knowledge of duty for the development
of karate since he was a young boy in Okinawa. Master Gima though not in good health in his youth, grew strong as he developed his martial art skills. One area that he worked on and felt quite strongly about was kata. Kata during his time was becoming neglected in favor of kumite, the concern of the fighters (kumite) being primarily to defeat an opponent. The masters trained for years at kata to improve their strength,health and flexibility.
At Pacific Heights we work to develop both kata and kumite. Karate is as much a mental discipline as a physical sport.
