All of the martial arts at Atlanta's Traditional Okinawan Karate-do Dojo are taught in an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual respect. The goal is to strengthen the individual in all aspects of development. Adhering to the traditional concepts of Budo, the practitioner is encouraged and assisted in exploring all facets of his or her personality, aiming toward intellectual, moral, and physical development.
We do not teach sport karate. The Okinawans developed these systems hundreds of years ago when unarmed techniques were the only means of self-defense, and the karate we teach has been passed down for generations. Moeller Sensei also incorporates principles and drills from his study of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Hung Gar Kung Fu and Aikido for more than twenty years.

Philosophy
Report
Martial arts training has proven to be an effective method of developing the individual in a whole and positive way. Through physical training, the student develops a deeper sense of self-confidence tempered by the virtue of humility. Emphasis is placed on a wide variety of physical skills, including endurance, strength, and flexibility.
Moeller Sensei's Book
Report
The study of Karate-do is more than a way to learn self-defense or get in shape - it is a way of life, and Karate-do Foundations is also more than just a karate how-to book. Using detailed descriptions and hundreds of photographs, Moeller Sensei leads readers on a journey to understanding the martial art of Karate-Do.
The Benefits of Karate Training
Report
Before beginning the technical portion of this book, I want to share some of the benefits that I have derived from my karate-do training. In particular, I want to discuss some of the non-martial benefits. Most people realize that karate training effectively teaches people how to defend themselves, but many are unaware of the other skills and abilities that are developed.
