FOUR BASIC SYSTEMS

 

There are four basic systems in the martial arts:

  1. 1. Self Defense/professional use of force system and is not considered an art.
  2. Traditional/discipline system where values and character building is taught.
  3. Spiritual/health system and is designed to develop internal strength and harmony.
  4. Sport/tournament focus, Training for tournaments and sport karate is demanding and challenging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We recommend age 6 as a good age to start karate.  However, students younger than 7 years old may need extra attention depending on how well they can focus and how passionate they are to learn the art of karate.  We have seen success with a few kids younger than 6 years old, but typically younger children will not have the attention span required.


It is not necessary to purchase a uniform when you start class but you should plan on wearing comfortable, loose clothing while you try out the class.  It is recommended that you purchase a uniform within the first 2 months if you have decided you would like to continue training.  


Shorin is the Okinawan pronunciation of Shaolin and is believed to be the oldest form of karate. Shorin-Ryu is a form of karate which includes kata (forms to practice self-defense), kumite (sparring/fighting), grappling, kobudo (weapons), and use of pressure points in self-defense.
