Shihan

Ashihara Karate can be described as moving in circles. The symbol illustrates the principles of the most efficient movements of the human body. The human body has a natural inclination to move in circles and in three dimensions, this transposes to the movement of a sphere. Circular movements mean that, rather than meeting an opponent head-on, you move around him, staying at his side or back, deflecting attacks and making yourself a difficult target. l will be happy to provide more information if you would like, please note there are many websites claiming to be ashihara, but they are not, including the one at the top of this forum page. He is Ashihara Africa, and not affiliated with Japan, and is not the same style. Chris Parsons. Chief instructor, Ashihara Australia.
