KARATE IKIGAI ACADEMY INTL.

Great teaching, comprehensive, concise and well organized. Good for all levels. It truly is Karate in your pocket.

Richard and Yanti are superb instructors and the library is huge! They give so many great insights and I can favorite those lessons to easily go back to them anytime I want

I have found this app to be invaluable as a resource and training tool. The Sensei Amos are thoughtful, generous, well-organized and adept. The level of professionalism is the highest, the presentations are specific and nuanced and communicated in straight-forward science-based language, and the karate instruction is a perfect blend of traditional Shotokan and progressive, contemporary analysis. More than useful, for the serious student or instructor it is invaluable. JT

I'm extremely excited about every single content component. As a former martial artist I can now use it to keep up with karate at my own pace. I look to Yanti for her pedagogical style, which is professional, authoritative yet empathetic. The Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork classes are key to my weekly regimen. I organize the Ikigai App under a folder I've created called Health, as it's not just "Sport" and it's not just "Exercise"; it's fundamental to my overall well-being. When I tell friends and neighbors that I'm doing a Yanti karate, yoga or meditation class, I suddenly have so many girlfriends "drop by". Everyone gathers in my backyard when they hear Yanti's voice, including all my animals. My iPhone suddenly spawns as a mini dojo or yoga space. The Women's leadership content serves to challenge, inspire and empower and is a wonderful resource for female practitioners! Highly recommend this App.

As a long time karate student of Richard and Yanti’s I am so appreciative of their creation of the IKAGI Ap. Year on year I wished I had been able to write notes after each class in the dojo as the rich and unique teachings flow so constantly. The Ap really allows constant opportunities to review all elements of the form. Richard’s mastery and lifetime integration of thinking through the meanings of Bunkai, biomechanics of force and fluidity of movement are simply not found elsewhere and hard to conjure in the mind alone. It is just really great to be able to sample lessons and review Kata or Kumite fine points. Beyond having the archive, the availability of tapping into training while away on travel for those of us who travel often is invaluable. I recommend the Ap to all serious students!

In this day and age where everyone pretends to be an “expert”, this app is a refreshing change back to the time where true masters were few and far between. This app has the beauty of traditional and demanding karate taught by Amos Sensei - a true world master. The app allows for the user to learn directly from someone who has direct lineage from the original legends in karate in the comfort of your own home or gym. This is truly unthinkable only a few decades ago. Enjoy and value this gift. Amos Sensei is one of the best karate instructors (if not THE best) in the world.

This app is like having one of the best karate instructors in the world right in your pocket! The level of detail and expertise offered in every lesson is unmatched, making it an invaluable tool for karate practitioners at any level. The bonus of having Yanti's additional yoga and karate instruction adds even more value, offering a well-rounded approach to training. Whether you're looking to sharpen your karate skills or improve flexibility and mindfulness through yoga, this app delivers it all!

This app is exceptional in every respect. There are few Senseis in the world of the calibre of Richard Amos, and to have his teaching available in accessible units covering such a wide range of wisdom is an opportunity not to be missed. From technique to history and culture to teaching advice, this app give you access to world class instruction at any time. For those of you teaching, your teaching approach and skills will improve from the first minute. The app is also wonderfully well organised. Yanti Amos’ meditation and yoga are outstanding and so enjoyable—very relevant to karate but as well to anyone in your world who might not be interested in the karate. I cannot recommend this app highly enough, and I’m not someone who spends time on apps.

As someone who used to not be able to go into the dojo often, Karate Ikigai Academy served as an amazing platform to practice my karate. All content is organized into various categories and is easy to access. Additionally, if others are interested in starting karate, the app has some nice videos that are beginner-friendly. Enjoy!

Unparalleled app to help teach and cultivate essential skills for Shotokan karate. Richard and Yanti impart their deep experience into the curriculum, which is always unique and focused. I find that the library of content challenges me mentally and physically, and leverages both basic and highly complex principals.
