Statement on the subject of Tsunami:

I have been training Karate Tsunami with short breaks for 22 years. Training of Karate Tsunami gave me exactly what I expected. In the beginning, as a young boy I wanted to learn fighting, then came the need of improving my form, overall fitness ability and health, as well as developing my movement coordination.

Now Karate Tsunami is my personal way to save what I have reached: self-defence abilities, condition and fitness, health, and thus exceeding my youth. Moreover - thanks to physical trainings and meditations - I immunize myself from stress, which is natural part of times we came to live in.

I can surely tell, that thanks to those advantages I love Karate Tsunami and I encourage to practice it.
