Are you interested in learning Karate but feel a little nervous about beginning your training? Most of our students felt the same way when they first began training in the martial arts. We understand how intimidating starting a new activity can be, and have structured our classes so that beginners can work comfortably in a class with intermediate and advanced belts. All you will need for your first class is:
• Comfortable clothing (track pants, t-shirt).
• No socks or shoes - bare feet.
• Fingernails and toenails trimmed short.
Typically we encourage students to try karate for a couple months before making the investment for a uniform (called Gi). They are available for sale at the respective clubs.
We are a family oriented traditional karate organization focusing on Sensei Masaru Shintani’s teachings - and values of kindness and humility. Our goal is to move into the future with ties to the past, developing confident individuals who will be positive role models within the community.
