Karate Program: Shorin Ryu is a Traditional Okinawan style that leads our students from white belt to Black belt. Directed towards students from 9 and up it is a serious class that builds character, self-discipline, self-control, confidence, and emotional strength. In addition to psychological advantages it builds physical strength, flexibility, agility, vigor, balance, speed and co-ordination. This class also has a special emphasis on self defense for the street, and incorporates elements of Kali Escrima, Silat, and Krav Maga. Although this is a serious class it is a lot of fun!
The Little Tiger program introduces children ages 4 years through 6 years to the traditional martial art of Shorin-Ryu in a safe and nurturing setting. Children are encouraged to have fun while improving concentration and coordination. We provide a positive classroom environment for children to develop the social skills of cooperation and respect while learning the mental and physical elements of Shorin-Ryu karate.
Students are taught the skill building curriculum of Shorin-Ryu karate with a game-based teaching methodology which is suited to the developmental needs of this young age group, and inspires them to enjoy the challenges of learning.
