Programs & Class Schedule

KARATE
The Karate program is for the student who wants to learn the traditional martial arts. Learning Kata (pre-arranged movements against attackers) builds mind body and spirit. While you still receive a good workout, there are many other benefits, including concentration, discipline, perseverance, and self-control. Kenpo and Ju-Jitsu are used to practice self-defense. Sport Karate and traditional weapon forms are also available. The Karate class starts out with warm ups that consist of stretching and strengthening exercises. Following the warm ups are Kihon "basics" which practice punches, kicks, blocks, stances, and footwork. After practicing basics, the rest of the class is spent learning and reviewing Kata (forms), self-defense, and Sport Karate.

TAI-CHI
A student looking for a low impact workout that works the whole body will enjoy the Tai Chi program, with the emphasis on flexibility, balance, and internal strength. Tai Chi is a well known exercise to relieve stress.
Tai Chi class starts with warm ups of stretching, joint turning and internal strengthening exercises. The beginner class is used to practice the short form of Tai Chi (24 movements). The student is continuously reviewing the form and movements as well as breaking down movements of the form such as "White Crane Spreads its Wings". Advanced students learn the long form "Combined Tai Chi" and/or Tai Chi Sword.
