This class is a mix between Isshinryu Karate (one of many Okinawan karate styles) and Ryukyu Kobudo (traditional okinawan weaponry). Students in this program will be learning a variety of self-defense style techniques that will be taught to them primarily through Kihon (basics), Kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring). In addition, students will also learn about the historical, cultural, and philosophical aspects of the Okinawan martial arts. Students will focus on developing their mental virtues such as confidence, self-control, self-discipline, patience, respect, humility, and perseverance in addition to the physical demands of the training.

Inactive Classes

While we currently do not have enough interest to schedule these classes. If you are interested in a one of the below classes, please talk with Sensei David.

Self Defense Class

This class is designed to teach older teens and adults how to not only defend themselves in a violent encounter, but more importantly, how to structure their life to avoid “self-defense” situations. Therefore, the classes put a heavy emphasis on mental training first and physical techniques second for the purpose of using the physical skills as a last resort. We work on developing good communication, fitness, a self-defense mindset, self defense techniques, as well as scenario-based training to give the students the tools and skills necessary to stay safe out in the world that is seemingly more and more dangerous.

Strength & Conditioning for the Martial Arts

This program is designed to help martial arts practitioners improve their overall health & fitness while also building a stronger and more resilient body & mind. This class is specifically geared towards martial artists and is not a general weightlifting program. We focus on unique bodyweight exercises and drills that strengthen the muscles needed for punching power, kicking power, and grappling techniques. We often use specialty equipment to mimic other motions found in various karate moves.
