Karate
Teaching Style
Renshikan Karate-Do is an association formed
by Sensei Akutagawa (founder Renshikan
Karate-Do International).
Renshikan instructors teach traditional
martial arts following Sensei Akutagawa’s focus
of researching the most original Shito-Ryu karate katas. The study of Karate incorporates: Kata (forms), Kihon (basic movements), Kumite
(fighting, and self defence) and Bunkai
(take-down techniques, locks, kata
applications). Also incorporated in Renshikan are the study of Iaido
(Japanese swordsmanship), basic Judo breakfall
techniques, Takeda-Ryu Aikido, and traditional Okinawan weapons.
School Philosophy
Martial arts is a life-long learning
process. Focus is on the development of a strong mind, body, spirit,
and character through safe training and self-discipline. Emphasis is on building strong basic techniques
before doing complex techniques similar to the concept that any building
structure requires a foundation of support.
Determination and perseverance are seen as keys to success in
accomplishing one's goals.
Importance is also placed on developing a sense of unity and
camaraderie among the students and their families. It is greatly appreciated whenever family
come to watch classes and demonstrations.
History
Dr. Ling was a long time member of the Kitimat
Karate Club in northern B.C., where he taught for many years. Delta Karate
School was founded in 1993 by Dr. Chee K. Ling
and his daughter Mee Lain Ling. The
facility was built on the Ling's private residence initially as a training
area for regular exercises and to prepare the Ling family members for
national and international competition. Due to demand for karate
instruction from neighbours, Mee Lain with
guidance from her father, began teaching young
children. Adult classes started in
1996.
Facilities
Classes are taught in a 1000 square foot area fully equipped with judo tatami mats, mirrors, protective gear, martial arts
books, punching bag+pads, and shower
facilities.
