"In order to stand on a podium, you should first push yourself to the limit."

Congratulations to all participants from Team WSK Sekishinkan, who won a medal in the 2023 Canada Open Karate Tournament on Saturday, December 2, 2023 at the Olympic Oval. Our Team achieved a total of 3 Gold, 2 Silver, and 4 Bronze medals.

For those who didn't receive anything, remember this is still a great experience for you. Think about how to improve and what you should do, so that you can stand on that Podium in the next year. Never give up, please!

「表彰台に立つためには、まず自分を限界まで追い込む必要がある。」

2023年12月2日土曜日、オリンピックオーバルで開催される2023年カナダオープン空手大会でメダルを獲得したチーム WSK赤心館の参加者の皆様、おめでとうございます。私たちのチームは、合計で金メダル 3 個、銀メダル 2 個、銅メダル 4 個を獲得しました。

何も受け取らなかった人にとって、これはあなたにとって素晴らしい経験であることを忘れないでください。来年その表彰台に立てるように、どう改善し、何をすべきかを考えてください。決して諦めないでください。

Welcome Message (2023-2024) from Chief Instructor

3/9/2023

Dear Parents and fellow members,

I hope that you and your family had a wonderful summer and that everyone is looking forward to the new Karate year. We look forward to meeting our new members and their families and we welcome back our returning members too.

Last year, we accomplished several events and tournaments. WSK Sekishinkan has achieved a total of 12 Gold, 17 Silver and 30 Bronze medals from tournaments. This is not just a personal achievement, but also a one of pride of our club. But this is only part of the journey and we do not have to stop here.

The previous experience has already shown us how capable we all are of accomplishing our goals when we commit ourselves to it.

I hope all of us can take this accomplishment as an example of how anything is truly possible when we put our minds to it. As we all continue in our lives, let us take each new problem and challenge on with confidence, knowing that we have achieved great heights and are equipped with the necessary tools to tackle our futures.

The road that lies ahead won’t be easy. There will be obstacles and missed exits, potholes and roadblocks. There will be times when we will feel like we cannot possibly go on. However, you are not alone. We are all on this journey together. Let us hold our hands and build up another history in the Karate year of 2023-2024. Osu!

Regards,
Suiseki Shihan, Henry Chan

親愛なる会員、ご家族、ご友人の皆様

あなたとご家族が素晴らしい夏を過ごし、皆さんが新しい空手の年を楽しみにしていることを願っています。私たちは新しい会員とそのご家族にお会いできることを楽しみにしており、また戻ってくる会員も歓迎します。

昨年、私たちはいくつかのイベントやトーナメントを達成しました。 WSK 赤心館は、これまでの大会で金メダル 12 個、銀メダル 17 個、銅メダル 30 個を獲得しています。これは個人的な成果であるだけでなく、当クラブの誇りでもあります。しかし、これは旅の一部にすぎず、ここで止まる必要はありません。

これまでの経験で、私たち全員が目標に取り組むときにどれだけ目標を達成する能力があるかをすでに示しています。私たち全員が、この成果を、本気で取り組めば本当に何でも実現できるという例として受け止めていただければと思います。私たち全員が人生を続ける中で、私たちは大きな高みを達成し、将来に取り組むために必要なツールを備えていることを知って、自信を持って新たな問題や課題に取り組んでいきましょう。

これからの道は容易ではないでしょう。障害物があったり、出口を逃したり、穴や障害物が存在する可能性があります。このままではいけないと思うときもあるでしょう。しかし、あなたは一人ではありません。私たちは皆、この旅に一緒にいます。 2023-2024年の空手イヤーに、手を携えて新たな歴史を築いていきましょう。押忍！

2022 Fall Certificate Presenation

16/12/2022

The Karate-do Promotion Test is not just testing your memory, skills, or technique, it is more about your understanding of a particular concept and your participation. We want you to see what you are capable of during one particular period of time. It might be a subject that lights up your potential, or it might not. Hopefully, above all else, it’s taught you that you can learn anything and do anything when you put in the effort. Congratulations to all of you!

空手道の昇級審查は、単に記憶力、スキル、または技術をテストするものではなく、特定の概念を理解し、参加することを目的としています。ある特定の期間に何ができるかを確認してください。それはあなたの可能性を開花させるテーマかもしれませんし、そうでないかもしれません。うまくいけば、何よりも、努力すれば何でも学び、何でもできるということを教えてくれました。おめでとうございます！
