Classes are designed for adults and cater to their learning style.
You won't just learn the karate "moves"
-- You'll discover how to use these movements to defend yourself.
-- We cooperate with our partners as we train to defend against a push, pull, or grab used most often to
start violence (over 85% of confrontations begin with these rather than a punch or kick)
Our members' average age is 45 years.
Members' ages span from a few teenagers to 76 years old.
