Shorin-Ryu Karate for Adults

Shorin-Ryu Karate for Adults and Advanced

Adult and Advanced Karate is a twofold program providing an accommodation for adults wanting to learn karate but can't make it to the earlier classes, as well as providing a teaching and learning environment to our Brown and Black Belts.

For the Adult program no past martial arts experience is required, and instruction will be geared to the student present. Study for the adults will start with an introduction to basic karate etiquette, terminology, blocks, punches, kicks, and stances, kicking techniques, stretching and exercise, basic routines and of course an introduction to our Kata/Forms. With 21 Kata Forms, students have a number of years to be introduced to and learn to perform these historical self-defense systems over the next few years as they move up in ability and knowledge.

The Advanced program occupies the same time slot but is focused on our Third, Second, and First level Brown Belts. Here advanced katas are covered and explored along with further self-defense techniques and teachings opportunities, and students from Orange to Black Belt can gain further instruction and interaction with each other. Study is a little more demanding and as learning progresses instruction will cover deeper applications and movements.

For our instructors, as well as our Brown and Black Belts, we will look in depth at our curriculum and including self-defense, Yakusoto kumite and kumite drills, Kata presentation, interpretation, and application. The advanced nature of these classes allows this time period to be a training opportunity, an opportunity to have teaching time and advance their own understanding and ability in Karate under the direction of our seasoned instructors, currently, 4th, 5th, and 6th degree black belts themselves who too will be advancing their own Karate.

Classes are Monday & Tuesday nights from 6:30PM until 8PM.

Students for these classes should be 17 years old or older or admitted by special permission.
