Benefits of Karate
Isshin-ryū was created by Master Tatsuo Shimabuku and was recognized in Okinawa as starting in 1956. Isshin-ryū is an Okinawan martial art that consists of kata and techniques derived from Shorinryu Gojuryu and Kobudo. Isshin-ryū is a synthesis of all these styles combined, including innovations from Master Shimabuku. Characteristics of the Isshin-ryū system include straight-forward practical self-defense techniques, upright natural stances, using vertical fist, low kicks, snapping hand and foot techniques, flexibility in use of techniques (strikes can also be blocks; blocks can be strikes), blocking with (muscle) part of forearm and use of Kihon (basic techniques) in place of kata.
Isshinryu's main objective is the perfection of oneself through both physical and mental development. As students learn the art of self-defense, they acquire self-confidence, serenity, and the ability to concentrate. Isshinryu Karate combines a well-rounded exercise program.
Our Classes are fast paced, fun and exciting. Every skill that a student learns is designed to test and build the character of the student. Students will learn:
Forms are Pre-arranged patterns of movements designed to teach various punching, kicking, and blocking skills. Forms develop coordination, concentration, and memorization skills.
Self Defense teaches students a variety of ways to defend different types of punches, kicks, grabs and holds. Students will learn nonviolent conflict resolution skills, and stranger danger techniques.
Sparring allows students to practice their offensive and defensive skills in a controlled manor to improve timing, distancing and control.
