All Classes are taught by Black Belts and / or Certified Instructors.

Children / Beginners Class (Ages 5-8)
The childrens beginner class follows a game format that focuses on balance, coordination, and basic karate movements such as: punching, kicking, and footwork. It is here that the child learns to concentrate, focus, and to interact with other children. They also learn basic Japanese terminology and Dojo Etiquette. This fun atmosphere promotes self-confidence, discipline, respect for themselves, their instructors, and their fellow students, in a group environment.

Youth / Intermediate Classes ( Ages 9-13)
This is the next level in the childs martial development. This class acts as a stepping stone to a more serious approach to the martial arts. A moderate workout includes calisthenics, stretching, & aerobic exercises. The youth student learns all the required kata, self-defense techniques, and several sparring regimens.
This class is structured similarly to the adult class, but physically formatted for this specific age group. The emphasis is on developing pride, sportsmanship, and accomplishment through improving karate technique.

Adult Classes (Ages 14 and above)
This class is a great way to get in shape. An advanced workout including stretching, calisthenics, dynamic tension, cardiovascular and endurance exercises begins the class. This class also teaches practical and effective ways to protect yourself. At higher rank levels, self-defense techniques are stressed more. All material for Black belt certifications in three systems is taught.

Private Lessons (All ages)
This class format stresses all of the same fundamentals that exist in the adult and children's classes. But with the added benefit of a one on one setting. This environment is ideal for beginners that want to get a flavor for the art before stepping into the group environment. Busy professionals that can't fit group lessons into their regular routine. Even individuals that may be returning from a lapse in training do to personal or medical reasons. This class will help you get the attention that you need to get your martial journey started on the right foot or perfect an area that needs improvement for the next level of your training.
