Benefits of Karate Training

  • Learn Concepts of Self-Defense
  • Improve Cardiovascular Fitness
  • Develop Coordination, Flexibility, Strength, Balance, and Good Posture
  • Improve Ability to Focus

Plus...
  • Learn how to set goals and achieve them, in supportive environment
  • Improve Self-Esteem and Respect for Self and Others
  • Make new friends

What to expect
In our adult classes, we teach agility, coordination, timing, and strength exercises through a series of drills, kata (forms), and kumite (sparring) with emphasis on good technique, breathing, and perseverance. 

We are not overly militaristic, but we do show respect to the Sensei and to each other by bowing at the beginning  and end of class and to our training partners in drills. We expect that students will be on time to class and give maximum effort while present. 

We follow a typical Traditional Karate belt ranking system. Readiness for testing will be determined by the Sensei and is based on the length of time training, student's general progression and learning of kihon (basic techniques), kata (forms), coordination and timing, and kumite (sparring) skills.
