Ikigai refers to having a reason for being by living a life of passion and purpose that financially sustains you. Per Wikipedia:

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means “a reason for being”. The word refers to having a direction or purpose in life, that which makes one’s life worthwhile, and towards which an individual takes spontaneous and willing actions giving them satisfaction and a sense of meaning to life.

It involves living at the intersection of passion, purpose, profit and demand (it’s wanted or needed).

Ikigai for us means giving that which we love — karate, martial arts and inner training — to others who share our passion for all it offers.

We hope that includes you.

If you need help finding your own ikigai for a life of meaning, passion and purpose, talk to us.

We’d like to help.
