Welcome at Karate-Do Gentofte
Karate-Do Gentofte and Sensei
Karate-Do
Gentofte was founded on the 1st of February 2012 under the technical
guidance of chief instructor (Sensei) Lasse Kristensson, 5th Dan.Values
KDG
is formed as a democratic association under the Danish law of
Associations. Within this framework, we make room for the traditional
karate hierarchy, taking the Danish culture into consideration. We focus
on the physical and mental development, just as it has been done
traditionally in Japan dating back from the feudal days of Japan.
Our values are based on traditional Karate-Do values (Karate means Empty Hand and Do signifies the road one have to
travel to develop ones own karate).
We put high emphasis on mutual respect and the development of a community in which we help each other improve our
skills and enjoy each other’s company. This we further try to support
through annual summer camp, club championship and Christmas party.
Vision
We
train traditional Shotokan Karate. Our goal is to make sure our members
are introduced to karate in a safe environment and to make sure, that
all students are taught in a structured and coordinated way. We focus on
strengthening the competencies of the children, thereby increasing
self-confidence, strength and interest in karate.
There are many reasons for taking up karate training, some want to train for self-defence, others for the mental
development
and some for the physical training. To us it’s important that all can
practice karate at KDG – Karate is for everybody – no matter gender, age
or physical ability.
Our recommendation is to participate twice a
week to build the physical strength and to follow the
planned development in each class.
