Isshinryu Karate

Ages 8 -Adult
Wednesdays 7:30 - 8:30

Isshinryu is a style of Okinawan karate formed by
a synthesis of two great  karate styles. The name
means, literally, "one heart"  or "whole heart"
way. This is an extremely effective style that has
been refined to eliminate flashy unnecessary
techniques. This leaves only the most effective
techniques. This  art does not use uncomfortably
low stances or difficult acrobatics. Because of this
it is not necessary to be an expert athlete to
attain proficiency in this style. It will with practice
develop strength, endurance, balance and high
self esteem. Students will learn to defend
themselves against unarmed and armed
assailants. Advanced students will study weapons
such as the staff, Sai and tonfa.
