OUR SYMBOL

The cherry blossom, or sakura, carries profound symbolism in Japanese culture, embodying renewal, fleeting beauty, and fresh starts. Within Koei-Kan Karate-Do, this blossom signifies core principles: discipline, respect, and constant growth. It serves as a reminder to remain humble, persistently enhancing skills and character. Moreover, it reflects life's brevity, urging us to value each instant and maximize our existence.
