The importance of competition in children’s education
Competitions are not only about winning or losing, they are about learning how to live.
When a child enters a ring, tatami, Dojo – they are not fighting only with somebody. It’s confrontation with themselves.
The child is afraid, anxious, brave, frustrated… And all in a safe environment, surrounded by those who encourage it.
Every championship is a real opportunity to mature. There the child learns to control their emotions, to concentrate under pressure, to rise after a fall and to understand that effort is not a guarantee of victory but a way to progress.
This is a preparation for maturity – where challenges are everyday, the “opponents” are internal, and the greatest result is not to give up.
Healthy racing teaches empathy, discipline and self-awareness. The one who competes today is strengthening themself for the world of tomorrow.
Because awards will one day rust. But what they went through…… will stay in the mind forever.

New World Shotokan Karate
Our instructors are accomplished, high-ranking black belts who take their teaching seriously, especially towards children, combining a comprehensive education in well-established, orthodox karate practice and philosophy with modern sports-orientated competition karate.
Traditional karate is about effective self-defence under all conditions. When we refer to traditional karate, we mean more than just kicks, punches and blocks. Shotokan’s founder Gichin Funakoshi emphasized that a fight can end up on the ground, for which you need skills other than kicking, punching and blocking.
