WELCOME TO
PEACEFUL HEART KARATE
Welcome to Peaceful Heart Traditional Karate-Do, a Traditional Karate Dojo teaching Goju-Ryu and Shorin-Ryu Karate-Do on New Hampshire's Seacoast. We teach Martial Arts with the goal of physical development as well as character development. In the words of Goju-Ryu founder Chojun Miyagi, “Do not strike others, and do not allow others to strike you. The goal is peace without incident."
ABOUT OUR MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL
Peaceful Heart Traditional Karate-Do is founded on the principle that quality, compassionate, training in Traditional Karate-Do can truly change the lives of students. By increasing self-discipline and self-confidence, this training can promote a healthy, motivated, goal-oriented lifestyle that will lead a student to be more successful in his / her studies, career and family life. By teaching honesty, humility and mercy, students are led to be better citizens by respecting the dignity of all people.
A ‘Dojo Kun’ is the creed or set of guiding principles that a Dojo (training hall) is founded upon. Peaceful Heart’s Dojo Kun is comprised of five statements. The Dojo Kun that we employ at Peaceful Heart, is said to have been created by Gichin Funakoshi, 'the father of modern karate'. When we recite these principles, you may notice that they are each numbered one. This is to reflect that each principle is just as important as the others.
