The word Dhammika means the righteous in Buddhism.
Karate-Dō means the „path of the empty hand“ and is a martial art. Traditional karate-dō is a way of life with a philosophy that is not only a physical discipline, but is also reflected in values such as honesty, politeness and respect. The three pillars of karate are practiced in the form of kihon, kata and kumite.
Every year, we at Dhammika organise the International Dhammika Cup together with Sato Kai Germany in the Langhanssporthalle in Beilstein, Baden-Württemberg (Germany) – a highlight every year!
