Effective Self Defense based on Proper Applications not Muscle Strength

Shido kan Shorin Ryu karate, developed in Okinawa, the birthplace of karate, for practical self defense.
We don't Spar for points or compete in Tournaments for Trophies
We Train to get Home Safely
We cooperate as we learn how defend ourselves for real-life situations
Classes are geared toward adults and the way adults learn. You won't just learn the karate "moves" -- you'll train to use these moves in many ways to defend yourself.
Classes are primarily taught by Roberto Curtis, 9th Dan, and Senpai Denise Coursey, 4th Dan.
We offer classes every day of the week to fit your schedule
