tion of a fully recognized club in 1999. Since the club's founding, membership has increased from three to 20, and the group has focused on the same skills the whole time.
"I always wanted to learn karate, but my parents discouraged me," said McKinley. "When I came to school, I wanted to learn self-defense skills." Edited by Earl Nutt
Unlike some karate organizations, the Karate Club requires the understanding of kobudo. In addition to enhancing coordination skills, kobudo gives people ancient weapon training.
Despite the sometimes-negative perception of weapons, Ayres said the use of practicing with traditional weapons builds confidence and provides weight-training skills.
Rachel Fuller, Augusta senior, said she never imagined she would participate in karate, let alone become the co-founder of a club dedicated to it.
Fuller wanted to learn more self-defense skills when she discovered the sport in Pittsburg, Kan., while completing a research project. By chance, Fuller met Ayres and his wife, Jennifer, Bushton senior, in 1998.
