We Who Pursue
Hi, I’m Matt, and my vision is to build a community around the pursuit of Karate — training hard, creating tools, and giving our best effort: “ganbatte.”
On this channel you’ll find playlists dedicated to:
-Goju-Ryu Karate (Kata, Kihon, Hojo Undo)
-Strength Training & Routines
-Japanese Budo & Tradition
-DIY Projects to support training
I also design Karate art prints, inspired by my original dojo notes, now available here → https://www.etsy.com/shop/PursueWorks
This is more than training... it’s a lifelong pursuit. Join me as we pursue together.
