Our Philosophy
Winnetka Community House
Our Philosophy
North Shore Karate Center's main focus is on enhancing your child's life through training the mind and body.
As a professional psychotherapist, Paul instructs students on applying the lessons at the dojo to everyday life.
Paul uses his two programs as part of the karate program:
StudentLifeSkills.com for younger students
AthleticMind.fit for teens and adults
Our Patch - Our Mindset
Misogi
Doing Difficult Things
That Are Good For You.
Building self-confidence and increasing happiness can't be bought.
It comes from experiencing accomplishments (sports, hobbies, activities, school, relationships...) through one's efforts.
Soon, we notice doing challenging things (exercise, conversations, studying) become strongly connected with positive outcomes in all aspects of life.
