SUISSE SHOTOKAN |
The SUISSE SHOTOKAN KARATE organization (SSK) was officially founded on May 7, 1977 in Bern.
The history of the foundation is closely linked to the name of Bernard Cherix, a pioneer of karate in Switzerland. SSK is a non-profit organization that teaches traditional karate in Switzerland. It is distinguished by the following three principles: the practice of karate as a personal discipline requiring total physical and mental commitment, in strict accordance with Master FUNAKOSHI's spirit and understanding of karate, the voluntary work of the association's managers and teachers, members from all social, racial and religious backgrounds. |
Word from the Sensei |
transcription Welcome to Suisse ShotokanEach one starts Karate with some particular reason; to be a good fighter, to keep in a good physical shape, to protect himself. I wanted to become very strong myself when I first began. But Karate training soon teachs that real strength is facing oneself strictly, with severe eyes. This is the first condition of martial arts training. Therefore everone at Suisse Shotokan must be strong inwardly, but quite gentle to others. As we train together, each contributing to a good atmosphere, let's to bring out that serious strong mentality from deep inside. Tsutomu Ohshima |
