PS U karatekas , 4 . 1 . , 4 " - .4 7: , , r ii, Karate more than self-defense SELF-DISCIPLINE IS the guiding principle of karite, as shown in meditation <top) before the workout. At bottom, Ron Avellino (left) and Bob IS:yahy— both blackbelts— practice. Three nights a week the walls are shaking and the sweat is pouring in 106 White Building, and the people who are in the middle of it all, love it. The Penn State Karate ,Club meets there on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights. The shaking of the walls may be due to the ki-ays yells) shouted by the karatekas (students of karate) or perhaps by the rhythm of the flying fists, feet. and even the trembling of the knees. "The Penn State Karate Club is affiliated with the American Okinawan Karate Asscfciation, and the style practiced is the Okinawan Isshinryu," said President Steven Briggs. Throughout the two and a half \ hour training session, Japanese terms are used. - "Ki-Ay means yell," explained/ George Mowod, blackbelt and head ipstructor. "It serves several purposes. It gives confidence to the fighter while it tightens his abdominiil muscles, and if it does not scare the opponent at least it will make him flinch and pose as 'a more vulnerable target." The training hall is the Dojo, and the-karatekas must bow (rei) upon entering to pay respect to the hall, to the superiors, and to their fellow karatekas. After the initial bow a different world is entered. For the duration of the training session the karateka gives up his or her personality and Must subjugate his or her will to that of the instructors. "Karate is a good form of self-discipline," said Briggs. "If the person takes time to learn the basics, he learns how to control his body and mind," Briggs added.

All training Cessions start and end with a traditional ceremony, during which the karatekas pay homage to their instructors, ' recite the Isshinryu Karate Code, the Training Hall Oath, and meditate. • Part of the oath reads, "The time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself ... with true vigor we will seek to cultivate the spirit of self-denial. We will observe the rules of courtesy, respect our superiors. and refrain from violence." Becky Houser, a secretary, who joined the club nine .months ago. is a proud owner ad the orange belt. "I took it for self-defense and someone bet me that I wouldn't stick with it ... I won the bet," said Houser. "I love the tough discipline. I know that if I get pushed I will achieve more. At times I get angry at the . instructors but this only makes me work harder." "The Isshinryu style was developed by Tatsuo Shimabuku of Okinawa, who studied the many different styles of karate and is also an expert in Kung Fu," said Mowod. Mowod began to study karate at the age of 13 and two years later was the holder of the black belt. "A hard working person can reach the rank of black belt in two years," he .said. "Karate can serve many purposes, ,it is good to know for self-defense. The karateka will become a well coordinated self-confident per Son," said Mowod. "Contrary to general belief, females can be just as successful in karate as maleS. They may even have an advantage over the males in the suppleness of their body," added Mowod.

I practiced seven days a week and reached the rank of black belt in a year and a half," she said proudly. "The personal self-defense course should be required for all women. A female shOuld learn not to be afraid, and how to fight back if the need arises," said Biddle. Debbie Studer t id-Art) is one of the new karatekas. "Karate is a challenge to overcome difficulties, it improves my body and mind, I plan to stay with it," she said. Briggs explained that even though some will drop out, the - present hall will be still crowded. "We need a larger hall for workouts. Our aim is to have a permanent space, perhaps in the new Rec Hall," Briggs said. -Briggs explained that the club is striving for a good image. "While we teach our members how to fight, we also teach them self-restraint," he said. The rules of the club are strict. Dojo. eating. drinking or smokirig is allowed in the Dojo. No one may leave without the instructor's per mission. "Seriousness of purpose, courtesy toward fellow students, and respect toward superiors must be maintained at all times.
