Our Traditional Martial Arts and karate program provides overall conditioning for men, women and children. Anyone can benefit from karate and martial arts training. Every class begins with a complete warm-up and stretching routine prior to moving into the core curriculum of karate, self defense, and advanced training applications. Each student trains and progresses at their own pace with personal

attention from the instructors. Traditional Okinawan karate has something to offer everyone and it is as unique as the individuals who study traditional Karate and Kobudo. The many aspects of martial arts training: self defense, self confidence, physical conditioning and self-discipline are all tailored to the individual needs of the student. The benefits of practicing traditional karate are to numerous to list here, and the full benefit of practicing martial arts are only realized after training and experiencing it yourself. Join us at the Shorinkan Family Karate dojo and begin your journey through traditional Shorin-ryu Shorinkan Karate. The style of karate taught in our dojo is Traditional Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan, as developed hundreds of years ago in the village of Shuri, Okinawa. It is sometimes referred to as Kobayashi-Ryu. Shorin-ryu Karate has survived and been passed though the years due to it's highly effective self defense techniques. Approximately 80% of all karate systems in the world today were derived from the Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate system. This classical system of martial arts uses both hands and feet evenly for a well-rounded and balanced system of self defense. www.shorinkanfamilykarate.com
