Gichin Funakoshi
"You may train for a long time, but if you merely move your hands and feet and jump around like a puppet, learning Karate is not very different from learning a dance. You will never have reached the heart of the matter; you will have failed to grasp the quintessence of Karate".
(founder of Shotokan)

Choki Motobu
"The techniques of Kata have their limits and were never intended to be used against an opponent in an arena or on a battlefield."
(Style Shuri-te, Tomari-te, Motobu-ryū)

Kenwa Mabuni
"A Kata is not fixed or immoveable. Like water, it's ever changing and fits itself to the shape of the vessel containing it. However, Kata are not some kind of beautiful competitive dance, but a grand martial art of self-defense - which determins life and death."
(Founder of Shito-Ryu Karate)

Hironori Ohtsuka
"Kata must be correct, unlimited and most of all, alive. One must learn to withdraw from kata to produce forms with no limits or else it becomes useless"

Proud to be a Member of the BCA
Since its formation, it can accurately be said, and without fear of contradiction, that the BCA has been ground-breaking in what it has achieved. There has been no other martial arts organisation, before, or since, which has brought under one roof the very, very best Instructors, in not just practical, combat applications but in ‘core,’ traditional martial arts.
