![What is 'The Mind' in our Martial Arts - Karate Mind](https://res.cloudinary.com/display97/image/upload/q_auto,fl_lossy,f_auto/c_scale,w_300/v1362515922/12021/-274117.jpeg)
Okinawa is worldwide recognized as the “Birthplace of Karate.” However, the government of Okinawa recognizes only three styles of karate as original to Okinawa. Uechi Ryu is one of them!
Master Folta teaches, “The mind controls everything.TM” The focus is to build your mind to be sharp like a knife. Your disciplined mind strengthens your body with self-conditioning beyond your personal limits. Your strong mind can endure hardship and difficult training, even a tremendous amount of body conditioning, and transform your person into a weapon.
By conditioning your mind, you can withstand attacks, leaving your opponent feeling defeated. Uechi Ryu trains the mind to use verbal defense, and for physical defense.
