When Sensei Colin first began Shotokan training with Sensei Jim Hele, he found the experienced instructor would nearly always wait until he felt you had nothing left to give, and then say something in Japanese followed by ”One more time”; this phrase roughly translated into japanese as Mo-ichido. .Jim passed away some years ago however in respect of his teachings, and because of its effectiveness in Karate training, “One More Time” has become a central principle at Mo-ichido Martial Arts;

We must all, students and instructors alike, be prepared to go the extra distance to improve our Karate and therefore, ultimately, ourselves.

As students progress through the syllabus the classes become harder and more challenging. Reaching blackbelt would be comparable to receiving a diploma qualification.
