What it means by ‘Rei’?

Rei derived its name from the Japanese word ‘礼’ meaning bowing to show respect for others. The logo exactly reveals what it means by ‘Rei’. The green leaves shows concern for nature and the yellow wooden text indicates positive thinking. The man who bows conveys the message ‘Karate begins and ends with respect’ an important precept by Gichin Funakoshi, the father of modern Karate.
