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.

off Dojo's walls
and toward one another is the tesie philosophy of
karate.
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.

Sharon Biddle, club treasurer, said, "A self
defense course made a karate addict. 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.
