Better late than never! We apologize for the lack of posts, but life is hectic, as we all know.

We are looking for a group of 8-12 students to start classes in January. This is 8-12 juniors AND 8-12 adults. That’s right parents, YOU can train in traditional Okinawan Karate too! All fitness levels are welcome! Start where you are.

Classes will be Tuesdays:
5:30-6:25pm for juniors ages 6-15 years old
6:30-7:25pm for adults ages 16+ years old

Please contact us if you are interested or have ANY questions.

It is both with sadness and excitement that we are announcing that we will be discontinuing classes for the time being. Between summer schedules and us preparing for the arrival of the newest Gregory, we have decided that right now was not the best time to begin classes. It would be unfair for you, our students, to be as distracted as we are.

We will be preparing ourselves to get straight to it towards the beginning of the school year. We will continue to post and update you as we get closer to the time when we can effectively dedicate the time needed to properly educate and train students.

Until then, please reach out if you have any questions or would like more information.

Sincerely,

The Gregorys

This is how we warmed up for class today.

Warming up before training or exercise prevents injury and get your body ready for physical activity. It’s also good to warm up before a physically demanding job, like construction, manufacturing, or even stocking a grocery store.

Meet your instructor - Joseph/Joey

Joey started training in Sh*to-Ryu Genbu-Kai while attending Pitt State University in 2011. After completing a semester, life had gotten in the way in the form of a job. It wasn’t until January of 2014 that he was able to get back to regular training.

Joey has competed and trained in several different states. His training has included not only karate, but also kobudo (weapons) and batto (Japanese sword). Joey tested for his black belt in karate in 2017, and just recently tested for black belt in Kobudo. He is currently second kyu (below black belt rank) in batto.

Joey is excited to get started here in Independence and spread the joy, passion, and inspiration he has received from this amazing art with others.

Meet your Instructor - Jesse Gregory

Jesse is currently a 5th grade teacher at Jefferson School. She has been studying Sh*to-Ryu Genbu-Kai karate since she was 5 years old, starting in 1995. She studied hard while a young child and made her junior black belt, or red belt, at the age of 12. She continued to train until some medical issues made her stop for awhile. She started training again in 2014 and tested for Shodan black belt rank in 2015.

One of Jesses favorite parts of being a part of this organization is the opportunity to travel and train with other schools. She has competed and trained in several states including: Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, and California.

She recently tested for her Nidan, or second degree black belt and currently still trains with the Pittsburg KS dojo on Saturday mornings. She cannot wait to start classes here in Independence.
