Our Adult Karate & Self-Protection Program has it all!

Through regular training, the mental benefits of the martial arts quickly become apparent as students notice improved
focus and concentration, greater stress relief and management, improved confidence and an overall greater sense of
well-being. Martial Arts is much more than punching and kicking, it is a holistic approach to physical fitness and
improved mental health.

Adult Karate

Our Adult Karate & Self-Protection Program is a mix of traditional Shorin Ryu Karate, Bunkai Jutsu, Modern Self
Protection, Power Striking, and Conditioning.  This program teaches the traditional forms (kata) of Shorin Ryu Karate,
which are great for developing a solid foundation of basic skills as well as focus, coordination, balance, and movement.  
And of course the applications of those kata are foundation of Karate-Do.

Without bunkai (applications), kata is little more than pre-arranged dancing. The hands can be flowing in exciting and
vibrant ways but if we never discover the meaning of the motion then our time would be much better spent hitting a
heavy bag or sparring.  Bunkai is the key to developing useful and effective techniques preserved for us by those
individuals who developed and tested them in fierce, life protection situations. Over the course of time much of the true
meaning of these movements has either been lost or purposefully disguised. If your desire is to unlock some of the
skills of our predecessors, you need to invest time into your kata application (bunkai).

Self Protection

The self-defense taught at Family Karate is a fully
developed protection package.  One that doesn’t
just teach standing in mirror and blocking imaginary
punches, having multiple memorized reactions to
unknown attacks, or that doesn’t understand why
people are victimized in the first place.

We start at the ground up, by teaching students how
to have the right awareness skills, recognize danger
before it’s dangerous, de-escalate confrontations
when they happen, react in the correct way to threats,
physically defend when necessary, and what strategy
is best in what situation.  Because knowledge is power,
and our goal is to get you the skills you need to make
you confident & capable in any situation.

So what makes it better than a gym??  

It’s not boring, every class is different, hitting pads and bags will be a great outlet for stress, learning forms is a great
exercise for the mind, and you get the invaluable skill of self-protection to go along with it!  

Family Karate is also very affordable.  Especially if you're a family wanting to get in shape or learn together.  We are so
dedicated to Family, that parents of any youth student in our programs get to take our Adult Karate & Self Protection
class for free.  There are many families who are benefiting from this one of a kind offer.  What we have found over the
years is that parents sit on the sidelines seeing what their children are learning and secretly wish they had a chance to
develop the same skills.  However, they always feel better about justifying the expense for their children & their needs
are sacrificed.  But with our PARENTS TRAIN FREE family plan, there is nothing holding them back.

Call today to set up a visit to our dojo to learn more about this dynamic program.
