What is Modern Karate?
The purpose of Modern Karate is simple: to forge technical excellence while training the spirit to a positive end.
Modern Karate has its roots in the traditions of Japanese and Okinawan karate-do, from Shotokan to more contemporary
stand-up styles. Each class involves training in kihon, kata, and/or kumite, with strong emphasis on the body mechanics
leading to stability, speed, and power. Tuesday night classes are reserved for kihon and kata/bunkai practice to allow
students to grasp the mechanics behind karate. Thursday nights are intense kumite training sessions designed to sharpen
student's real-time reflexes and timing in a controlled setting while using proper technique.
Please note that a belt ranking system will not be used in this class. Please wear karate pants and a school t-shirt.
