WHO CAN LEARN KARATE?

Men, Women, and children from age 5 and older; almost anyone. Each student works and progresses at their own pace. Anyone who has the desire and puts forth the effort will be amazed at the skills that can be developed in a relatively short period of time.

Come into the dojo anytime during classes and observe. Ask any questions about what you see. Visit other martial arts schools so that you may make comparisons. If you decide on our dojo, come in and talk to us. All you need to start is a white karate Gi (Uniform), Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan patch, and a willing spirit. We look forward to having you train with us!

HOW TO GET STARTED

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR KARATE TRAINING !!!

Beginner >

Beginner level classes focus on elementary karate skills; flexibility, muscular and cardiovascular development. Primarily, this class teaches blocks , kicks, punches, stances, history, philosophy, courtesy, and basic Japanese language. This gives the student a good foundation from which to advance to more complex and demanding training.  Begin your Budo journey here.

Intermediate level classes begin the deeper study of Kata (forms), self-defense techniques, advanced kicking and punching. Yakusoku Kumite (prearranged fighting), free sparring, beginner grappling are explored, with some restrictions. Okinawan Kobudo (basic weaponry) is introduced at this stage

< Intermediate

Advanced >

Advanced level classes study kata in great depth, as well as execution of hidden techniques(kyusho, tuite). Advanced Okinawan Kobudo are tuned to razor sharpness. Grappling and awareness training are learned in detail. Advanced level students are given opportunities to be leaders and  develop teaching skills.

Special attention is given to character development of our younger students. Much of their training is directed toward mental and physical discipline, self-reliance, personal responsibility, and self-esteem. Plus they have lots of fun while doing karate.
