Ready to awaken and develop your instinctive abilities to defend yourself? Our program is designed to create instinctive responses to physical assaults that can save your life, or the life of someone you care about.
Our system, barrows from what is commonly referred to as “Classic” or “Traditional” Karate, this is because Karate was originally designed, not for the battle field, but for protectors. The body guards of the ancient Ryukyu kingdom used Karate to protect the nobles, the Ryukyu sailors hired Karate experts to protect their boats while traveling. In fact, Karate has a long history in personal protection. Karate provides all the necessary tools grappling & escapes, Blocks & Strikes, Balance and Control.
Though our concepts are rooted in traditional Okinawan Shorin-ryu. Our method to teaching self-defense is based on simple concepts. We work from the ground up. Just as you wouldn’t build a floor of your home before you laid the foundation.
We utilize a systematic approach first teaching balance, footwork, body movement. Often most encounters end up on the ground because the victim loses balance or trips over their own feet. Next we focus on defensive concepts from escapes, blocks and strikes.
At the end of each class, a small mnemonic, or pattern to assist in remembering the concepts learned in the workshop.
Each workshop builds on the previous workshop, the goal is to awaken, train and maintain your inner protector.
Our goal is to teach and develop instinctive responses, not solely techniques but the underlying idea that can be applied in various situations.
We offer our workshops to small businesses, non-profit organizations, corporations, religious organizations. Just about any group who wants to provide their members or employees self-defense training.
