Karate Lessons & Self-Defense Classes

“Karate is a way of life which teaches self-confidence, health, and physical stength. Every effort in karate teaches you commitment for any task in life. You build karate and life at the same time. You grow spiritually and physically at once. Individual change comes through self-study. Then you find your own special techniques — and you find yourself. The final goal of training is to act against any opponent with maximum efficiency.”

“Karate is a lifelong challenge that is explained by the dojo kun — seek perfection of character, be faithful, endeavor, respect others and refrain from violent behavior. Studying techniques gives you self-confidence and that gives you self-defense. But, self-defense is a state-of-mind, not a combination of techniques. The best defense is avoiding trouble. Karate is not the study of fighting, but of people. Kata and kumite are like the two wheels of a bicycle. Kata hones the edge of your sword, kumite is using the sword.”
