錬心舘空手道は人間形成の道である
Renshinkan Karate-do is the path of
human development.
人命尊重
空手道は生涯をかけて道を究めるものであり、心身ともに健全であることが必要です。錬心舘空手道は、安全性の確保、人命尊重の理念に則り、防具着用組手を実施します。空手道とは勝敗を究極の目的とする武術ではなく、処世の道であり人を生かす活人拳です。
Respect for human life
Karate-do is a lifelong pursuit, and it is necessary to be sound both in mind and body. Renshinkan Karate-do is a way to secure safety and respect for human life, so we practice Kumite with protective gears. Karate-do is not a martial art whose ultimate purpose is to win or lose, but a way to live and let live.
空手技術
人に打たれず、人を打たず。自他を傷つけぬ事こそ空手道の原点です。錬心舘空手道は、小よく大を、短よく長を、柔よく剛を制する（小さい者でも柔軟に立ち向かえば、大きなものでも倒せる。近い間合いで相手を攻撃する。柔らかくしなやかなものは、堅いものよりも良く耐える。）精致華麗な護身法です。錬心舘の完成された組手技術は「正義なき暴力」に使用してはなりません。
Karate Techniques
Do not get hit by others, do not hit others. Not to hurt oneself and others is the origin of Karate-do.
Renshinkan Karate-do is a refined and splendid self-defense method to control big with small, long with short, and stiff with soft. (Even small people can overcome big ones by being flexible and confronting them and attack the opponent at close range. Supple ones can endure better than hard ones.)
The completed Kumite techniques of Renshinkan must not be used for "violence without justice".
人格陶冶
空手道は自然随順を基調とする健康法です。健全な肉体は健全な精神を育む素地となります。錬心舘空手道は体をもって真理を悟り、泰然自若たる己を磨く人格陶冶の道です。
Character cultivation
Karate-do is a health practice following the law of nature. A sound body is the foundation to develop a sound spirit. Renshinkan Karate-do is a path to realize the truth with the body and to cultivate imperturbable mind and the self.
学問追求
空手道を究めんとすることは、真理を究めんとする行いです。人生や世間にあらゆる変化があろうとも、真理を悟る者は自らを見失うことはありません。また正しいと信じた真理は勇気を持って実行すべきです。
Academic Pursuit
To master Karate is to pursue the truth. No matter what changes there are in life or in the world, those who realize the truth will never lose sight of themselves. We should also have the courage to carry out what we believe to be right.
道徳追求
空手道を通じ礼節を尊び、人と和し、切磋琢磨の中に人として貴く生きることの崇高さを体得します。人々の為に「正しく生きる」ことは健全な社会を創る基であり、それは人類の永遠の課題であり願いです。平和社会への善導は、己の慢心や我が侭を排し、報恩感謝の心で始めるものです。
Moral Pursuit
We respect civility and harmonize with others through Karate-do, and we learn the sublimity of living nobly as a human-being while enhancing each other. To "live rightly" for other people is the basis for creating a sound society, which is the eternal task and wish of humankind. Leading a peaceful society begins with the spirit of gratitude for what we owe from others and doing things without self-pride or selfishness.
芸術追求
型に表現される一挙一動には、静・間・動の中に人を魅了する美しさがあります。日々鍛錬に集中し、向上心を持って磨き上げられた型には己の生命が宿ります。人の内面より顕れる美しさは、外見だけの華やかさより遥かに美しい。
Artistic Pursuit
Each move expressed in Kata has a beauty that fascinates people in stillness, pause, and movement. When a Kata is refined through daily hard training and with aspiration for improvement, it takes on a life of its own. The beauty that emerges from the inside of a person is far more beautiful than the glamour of the appearance alone.
終戦後の廃墟に佇んだ開祖（故）保勇宗家は、荒廃した祖国「日本」の復興は武道を通じての人づくりであるとの強い信念のもと、「錬心舘」を創設しました。開祖が掲げた「より健全な社会の建設は、健全な個の形成より始まる。」の言葉は、流儀の理念として錬心舘を支え、又、青少年の夢と希望を支えて今日に受け継がれています。
Standing in ruins after the end of the world war two, the late founder Tamotsu Isamu founded Renshinkan based on his strong belief that the core of the reconstruction of his devastated homeland "Japan" would be the human development through Budo. The founder's words, "Building a sound society begins with the formation of a sound individual," have been passed down to this day by supporting Renshinkan as the philosophy of the style, as well as supporting the dreams and hopes of the youth.
