Karate is a traditional Japanese martial art which develops physical power and mental focus through training blocks, strikes, kicks & body movement. It's a moving meditation which teaches us to clear our minds and be fully present. This empowers us to steadfastly pursue our endeavors outside the training hall as well. Karate promotes excellent cardio fitness & develops all major muscle groups while teaching self-defense. Anyone can begin training karate at any age or fitness level.
You'll build skills gradually with our internationally acclaimed instructors, learning techniques like blocks, kicks & punches. You will learn kata (aka - forms - a series of set movements designed to defend against imaginary attackers) and also practice these techniques with partners.
