Class Description
Build strength, focus, and respect in Karate! Rooted in the Goju style from Okinawa, Japan, this martial art balances hard and soft techniques to strengthen both body and mind. Students will explore Karate’s rich traditions while practicing meditation, breathing, stretching, and conditioning alongside blocking, punching, kicking, and kata. Classes also include two-person drills, self-defense strategies, and confidence-building activities that emphasize respect for self and others. With an engaging mix of discipline and fun, students will grow in focus, resilience, and teamwork while developing lifelong skills both on and off the mat. Please note: This class requires access to a safe open space for martial arts practice.

Karate lies in the heart, not the hands. We believe Karate is not for fighting, but rather for character development. Physical fitness is a primary focus, followed by detailed subject matter to stimulate the mind. We work on our feelings and behaviors as they power our strong Karate Spirit. Our class aims to build fearless and compassionate students and equip them with tools that they can use outside of the classroom. Of course, students will learn to defend themselves physically, but more importantly they will learn to defend themselves emotionally as well. Students will learn the history of the art, basic self-defense, anti-bullying techniques, how to stop attacks, and more. We strive to make classes fun and jam-packed with a combination of both serious and playful activities. Mr. Kamen is a ninth degree Black Belt and has authored the book "KARATE: Beneath The Surface".
