Club stresses discipline and self-confidence
BY ROD HILTS
When walking through the doors at the
Goderich Township gymnasium on Mon-
day and Wednesday nights, be sure you're
prepared for the workout of your life. The
.people in'the gym on these nights aren't
here for basic push-ups, sit-ups and stride -
jumps, they're here to learn the Martial
Arts:
First of all, to set the record straight, the
gym is called a "Dojo" when it is used to
practice karate and other' forms of the
Martial Arts. Instructor Ron Tyndall, 32,
of . Holmesville, has been operating the
Goderich Township Karate Instructor Ron Tyndall, whe has a black belt in the sport,'hras
taught the Martial Arts fora year and a half. Pictured is Tyndall (centre) seperathrg two
fighters before their bout begins. (photo by Rod Hilts)
school four a year and a half and presently
has 25 student enrolled in his program.
He teaches his.. tudents "Shorinrgu," a
hard style of karate. Hard meaning the
students are taught to kick and punch
harder, with the use of 50 per cent hands
and 50 per cent feet. Kung fu, on the other
end of the Martial' Arts scale, is softer,
which means the motionsare much slower
and are done with more of a'"flicking ac-
tion."
According to Henk Gerrits, 31, a native
of Goderich, who is enrolled in the course,
the origin of the Martial Arts stems back to
over 2,000 years ago when the people from
mainland China took all of the weapons
from the Islanders of Okinawa. The
natives, grasping for some type" of self
defense, engaged in different forms of
karate.
When enrolled in the Goderich Township
Karate School, the first thing a beginner
learns is how to bow. Bowing -shows
respect in being able to work out by using
the Martial Arts. Showing respect is the
first step to achieving self-discipline.
Mr. Tyndall says the goal of'the karate
school is to teach the student self-control,
perseverance and to give them self-
confidence. He says the students get all of
the above "along with a little bit of self-
defence."
The courses start up every 10 weeks.
After the 10 week course is over, the stu-
dent can join the club for additional train-
ing. The program is suited for adults and
children.
"In the first 10 weeks the student gets a
good understanding of what the Martial
Arts is all about. Some only stay for one
night and decide they don't like it," said
Mr. Mr. ll holds the coveted black belt
in karate, which took him about seven
years to earn. Throughout his teaching
.sessions he can be heart shouting words of
encouragement, "Be patient and don't
give up. Martial Arts is for any age. and
you all have an equal chance to be good at
rte"
Ont of the 25 students enrolled in tie
school, 14 hold color belts.
Beginners start out by earning a white
belt and advance as follows: yellow,
orange, green, blue, brown and finally' to
black.
Every belt level has a certain amount of
"kudas" that are required before the stu-
dent
tndent receives his belt. A kuda is a series of
moves attacking and defending against an
imaginary opponent or opponents.
The highest ranking belt, next to Mr.
Tyndall in the Goderich Township club,
belongs to Layton Cudmore and Henk Ger-
rits, who both earned their green belts with
Pearson's Karate School in Goderie.h. .
Why join a karate club? It's a question a
lot of the students are asked.
"Mainly because it's a good workout.
It's a good way to stay in shape," said 21 -
year -old Jennifer Renshaw of Goderich,
with the number of women getting at-
tacked these days, a woman stands a bet-
ter chance if she knows karate."
Ms. Renshaw has been enrolled in the.
school for about a month and has earned a
white belt. She definitely recommends that
other women take the course.
Henk Gerrity has been involved in
karate for five years. He says his goal is to
obtain the black belt and become a karate
instructor.
"Right now I'm at about the mid -point to
earning the black. Martial Arts is not easy.
Once yon set a goal you have to work
toward it. They. don't just hand out the
belts, you have to earn them," said Mr.
Gerrit.
Mr. Gerrity recommends the course but
cautions "not everybody can do it; it'takes
discipline."
•
Discipline and respect are evident while
watching the studentg0 through their
warm-ups. The students all respond to in-
structor Tyndall's opening command
"ske," which means attention. Next Mr.
Tyndall instructs his students to forget
about the good and bad things that happen-
ed during the day and that for the next
hour and a half, they're at the gym to learn
Martial Arts. -
The routine begins with each student lin-
ing up, side-by-side, in order of their belt
ranking. From this position the sweat
begins to roll...
Come and join the growing number of
Martial Arts enthusiasts by registering to-
day!
