Origami Crane
There is an old Japanese legend that states that if you fold 1000 paper cranes any wish you ask for will be granted.
"Thousands of repetitions and out of one's true self perfection emerges" (Zen proverb)
It has in recent times become the symbol of peace and it is in this form that Kickarate embraces the idea that all people can come together to train with the goal of developing the human spirit.
To make a paper crane you start with a flat sheet of paper and after making many folds a crane appears. People begin karate as a white belt with little knowledge of where the journey will take them but with with training they soon understand just how many opportunities Karate has to offer. At Kickarate the crane symbolises the development of the student with Karate training.
