Classes

Morning Class     Monday, Wednesday, Friday

11am-12pm         Adult class, all levels

This class is best for students who have some background, but all levels are welcome. This class typically has one instructor, and varies in focus across the three types of training (kata, kihon, and kumite) each day.

Afternoon Class     Monday, Wednesday, Friday

5:30-6:30pm      All ages, all levels

This class is best for beginning students and for youth. The class begins with all levels doing warm ups and some work together as a class. After this, students are put into groups with additional instructors by age and/or rank to focus on specific training at their level. Smaller groups allow instructors to give specific training to students based on their level and abilities.

Evening Class     Monday, Wednesday, Friday

6:30-7:30pm         Adults, all levels

This class is open to all adults, and youth at the brown belt (3rd kyu to 1st kyu) and black belt levels. This class has one instructor; beginning students may be taught/tutored by an additional instructor. While this class may seem intimidating (this is the course most of our advanced students train in), training is flexible, and color belts/kyu ranks are welcome.

Conditioning Class     Saturday

9:00-10:00am        All ages, all levels

This class focuses primarily on basics (stance, techniques), core strength, and stretching. Drills help establish proper stances, path of technique, and study of these foundational elements of karate.  In addition, this class focuses on examination basics the week or two prior to an exam.

Kata Class           Saturday

10:00-11:00am          All ages, all levels

This class provides focused training on kata (forms). Kyu/Color Belt students train the katas up to their level, then work in detail on their current assigned kata. For black belts, there is detailed work on the monthly kata.
