"I chanced upon karate when was helping a friend find out about martial arts. In the end, he had pneumonia so it was me who joined instead! Although it was sort of on impulse but I never looked back since. On my first observation session I was impressed by how flexible those karatekas are (I can't do sit and reach for nuts but am, and will still be working on it). Trainings were fun and there was a sense of satisfaction equivalent to what you call a runner's high when you train hard. Besides, the seniors were always there to help you understand the art better. All you had to do was ask, and learn. The best part was, of course, the bonds forged. SKA is a home outside home. And Karate is a lifestyle worth pursuing, for it trains your physique, determination, and patience. A sport or recreation suitable for all, the young and old. "

"Karate is sport practised by many people (young and old). When i joined , i thought it just about fighting. But i was totally wrong. We learn self-defense and discipline. Its like a big family. No one looks down on you if you do the moves wrongly.. The training is tough and helps you lose weight..:) Its much different from the gym. It is also rather fun.."

“I have been working as a flight attendant for Singapore Airlines for the past 15 years.  We, the cabin crew had the opportunity to be part of the Martial Arts Circle Group and I gladly took up sports karate in April 06.
 
Shitoryu karate has shown me the art of self defense and not only that, it has also showed me the basic fundamental skills in life, that is to be honourable, humble and respectful to all the people around us, family, friends, teachers, peers and of course not forgetting our senseis!
 
I’ve enjoyed each training sessions and till today I’m enjoying it as each time there’s something new we learn or even polish up on our skills and techniques.  I’m always looking forward to each training, not only does it keep me alert, fit and healthy, it also makes me a better person.”
