Quote from member regarding gWhat sets NMKA aparth

gSensei always distinguishes between what he calls Recreational karate and Educational karatec.. although we train in a fighting art, we are not just taught how to fight.  We are taught how to become better people.  Character is very important in the dojo, and I wouldnft have it any other way.  In this dojo, we are taught not just how to recite the dojo kun, but how to live it as well.h
