OUR GOAL

Our mission is to strive for excellence while providing quality instruction to each and every karate-ka who entrusts his or her body, mind and spirit to our dojo (training hall). We are committed to the education of all of our karate-kas as well as providing for the dojo's needs in the most empathetic and professional environment possible. Our intent is that the benefits of our commitment to the excellence will positively impact the lives of our instructors, our karate-kas and the community we serve.

STANDARDS & OBJECTIVES

Because an exceptional organization cannot be built upon an inferior foundation, we are committed to the highest quality in all aspects of the operation of the dojo. This includes qualified instruction, state of the art equipment and a traditional Japanese facility.

INSTRUCTION

Average will not be tolerated by any member of our dojo. Our instructors are individuals of superior moral character, having the highest standards of ethics and integrity. Our team commitment to excellence extends to all aspects of our personal and professional lives, including neatness, attire and punctuality. Because personal initiative is the hallmark of the members of our team, each member subscribes to the belief that his responsibility is never limited to the specifics of his job assignment. The by-product of our dedication to motivate and work with each other is an infectious enthusiasm exemplified by teamwork.

BUSINESS PRINCIPLE

The foundation of our ability to provide an exceptional organization with quality services and a structured environment is the key to the organization's financial stability. We must maintain productivity and profitability by charging fair fees commensurate with the quality services we provide. A return on Sensei Fard's financial investment (practice purchase) and time (teaching and training with each individual) is both deserved and expected. All instructors serve on a volunteer basis, viewing their service as part of the process of developing body, mind and spirit in the Kyokushin way. Promotions in belt rank will be determined by IKO Kyokushinkaikan and will be based on each student's level of commitment and performance. The sensei will keep instructors abreast of all changing trends in the art of Kyokushin Karate and make any necessary corrections in training, techniques and systems. The sensei will use his best efforts to provide a pleasant environment in which instructors will be able to work most constructively. Instructors will always be informed as to what is expected of them; however, their performance will be monitored to ensure it meets expectations.

OUR CHALLENGE

We realize that karate-ka satisfaction is not the result of a haphazard sequence of events, but rather is achieved through the planning, hard work and perseverance to which our dojo instructors are dedicated. Although every karate-ka is a unique human being with his or her own needs, wants and desires, we, the instructors, accept the challenge of sensing, serving and satisfying those needs thus enabling our students to reach their fullest potential.

FUTURE

Because the needs of those we serve are ever-changing, our team is committed to the development of new skills and the constant refinement of existing systems. Continuing education and instructor training serves not only to motivate our team to reach new heights with regard to managerial and instructional expertise, but also to ensure that our karate-ka always receive state of the art martial arts training.
