Adult Shorin-Ryu Karate (ages 13 and up)

 

 

Our Adult Shorin-Ryu classes focuses on traditional Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate.  By learning kata, we teach our bodies how to react automatically to an attack through muscle memory.  

 

As you move through the ranks, learning Karate will help to develop a more peaceful state of mind while fortifying the individuals resolve.

 

It also helps instill an awareness of your surroundings, promotes self-confidence, humility with a deeper understanding of your strength of mind and body, while increasing vitality, energy, and agility.  

 

Many extraordinary changes can occur in the serious student: 

• Stressed people become calmer;
• the submissive feel more assertive; 
• lazy people become energetic;
• overweight people balance their proportions;
• the bullied and less confident build an internal strength and resolve
• the athletically deficient improve in coordination and flexibility;
• and the overly aggressive are directed toward patience and self-control.  

Properly practiced, karate can be a lifelong activity and may be practiced by anyone who enjoys reasonably good health. It also induces a sense of respect -- for oneself and for others.
