My son and I have trained here since the dojo opened. Classes deepen both physical strength and mental discipline; and the traditional approach is a much-needed and appreciated counterpart to the everyday world. Don't count on advancing quickly. .. but do expect to learn a lot—both about shito ryu karate and about yourself.
Traditional Karate of Bellingham is a continuation of the Shito-ryu training developed at Pacific Martial Arts. Sensei Bellinger has been our sensei for nearly 4 years and before that, our sempai for a number of years.
The training at Traditional Karate of Bellingham doesn't aim to churn out black-belt students at a rapid pace. The training is deep and deliberate. It is less about karate "moves" and more about how to move. If you are seeking a deep study of traditional karate with a continuous focus on kihon (basics), stop in and talk to Sensei before or after class. Class times are evenings Tues. 7:15-8:15, Thur. 6:00-7:10 and Sat. 10:00-11:00am downstairs in the Majestic building at the corner of Forest and Maple streets.
