Alex RandazzoMar 14, 2013.I have been apart of The Rosati System of Modern Martial Arts for about one year now, and it has changed my life. Before I joined I was struggling with recently having been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Since joining, however, I've dropped 75 pounds and I have been off medication for 7 months, loosing all my weight naturally. The good nutritional advice provided by Lisa Marie Rosati, and the teachings of Krav Maga provided by Michael J Rosati Sr. really helped a great deal. The hard work really does pay off, thank you so much Rosati family! ...read more

According to Gichin Funakoshi, one of the founders of Modern Karate, Karate Do is a way of life and a means to seek perfection of character in ourselves. One of the primary functions of the Chief Instructor, Assistant Instructors and all of the Black Belts in your Academy is to instill the proper training and education necessary to teach each and every student in the Academy to be a better member of their family, school, workplace and Community. Whether they are children, teens or adults we as Karate practitioners should be a role model in all aspects of our life. What are you doing to be a positive influence at home, at school, at work, or in your Community? Do you take the initiative when you come off from school to hang up your coat and put away your shoes? If you see a coat on the floor or shoes left in front of the doorway will you pick them up and put them away even if they are not yours? Do you sit down to do your homework without being told to do so? Would you consider helping a younger sibling with their homework? After dinner do you help clean off the table and put away the dishes? Who takes out the garbage? What can you do around the house to make life a little easier for your mother, father or other family members? Did you go to school prepared? Did you do all of your homework assignments that were due for the day? Did you study for that quiz or test? If your teacher let you know that you were weak in one subject did you ask for extra help from your parents or your teacher? When you are at school do you pay attention to the teacher and do you interact in a positive manner? Are you respectful of school property as well as other student's property? In your community have you ever volunteered to help with fundraisers? Have you considered volunteering to help clean up your neighborhood or a local park? Are there elderly neighbors who could use your help, for example, shoveling the snow from their walkways and driveway or just a little bit of company? As you can see, seeking perfection of character is not only about seeking perfection of technique but it is more importantly about being a better person. As a Karate Teacher it is our responsibility to develop strong Life Skills in all of our students. It is easier and more rewarding to teach a good student and a good citizen! Michael J.

Written byMichael J. Rosati Sr. "In the Old Days" When I was a student under Shimabuku Eizu Sensei (Okinawa : 1972-73) Classes were Monday thru Saturday from 6 PM to 10 PM, and on Sunday you were required to put in 1 hour of your own time to practice. This schedule was not optional, it was mandatory to remain enrolled in his Dojo. Sickness and or work were the only excuses. That's 25 hours in one week! Today those same 25 hours would be spread over 8 to 12 weeks! At that rate in one year....if you were still "alive and kicking", you were pretty good. When I first opened my Dojo in 1982 you only needed to work one job and you were home by 6 pm. You ate dinner, cleaned up, and then you headed over to the Dojo to train. Classes were Monday – Thursday from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. And on Saturday, we trained from 1 to 3 pm. Your Kata looked great because you were in the Dojo 4-5 times a week and you spent time reviewing and practicing at home every week. But that was then and this is now. It's 2010. You and your spouse work get home from work at 7 pm if you are lucky. There is dinner to cook, dishes to wash, homework to do, and then the kids have to be put to bed. NOW you can rush over to the Dojo and train. And that's IF it's not too late and IF you didn't sit on the couch and falls asleep. And you have bills (and more bills) to pay. Sneakers don't cost $25 anymore and they weren't a fashion statement back then. You have choices to make. Do you want to go to the Dojo and train? Or do you put it off until you can find time to fit it in? And do you wait until after you lose that weight? Or after Baseball Season? How long will you procrastinate? We all know the answer. The longer you stay out of the Dojo, the less chance you have of returning to train in the Dojo. So let's set our priorities: Health, family, work. All three are equally important. After that if you want to train then you should set aside 2-3 days a week for classes which should be at least 45 minutes for children & teens and 1 hour for adults. If you can do this it means you are "in the game" but you still need to review and practice at home several times a week in order to develop some level of proficiency. You don't need to spend an hour a day training at home. You need just enough time to keep you at the level of what is being taught in class; about 15 – 20 minutes. And if you don't practice at home you are just fooling yourself. We, as teachers, know whether or not you have done your homework!!! It's your choice. P.S. And don't try getting on Hanshi's good side by bringing an apple. It doesn't work. (But a bottle of Sake might!!!) LOL ...read more
