Karate

“It’s not about being better than someone else, it’s about being better than you were the day before.”

The

Karate

program

consists

of

formal

training

in

the

Okinawan

and

Japanese

art

of

Shudokan

Karate-do,

Doshinkan

Karate-do,

Kobudo,

Aikido,

Jujitsu

and

Judo.

The

techniques

taught

are

not

used

for

tournament

or

competition

fighting.

We

teach

real

world

applications

to

help

give

you

the

edge

in

defending

yourself

or loved ones.

Classes

consist

of

traditional

kata,

kobudo

(weapons),

and

self

defense

training.

You

will

be

immersed

in

learning

the

kata

(forms

or

prearranged

patterns)

and

bunkai

(the

application

of

the

kata)

for

both

empty

hand

and

weapons,

as

well

as

learning

the

secrets

that

are

hidden

within

the

kata

for

self

defense

Don't

be

fooled

by

the

new

craze

of

mixed

martial

arts.

What

applies

in

the

ring

does

not

apply

on

the

street.

There

are

no

rules

when

you

are

being

attacked

by

an

assailant.

On

the

street

there

are

no

referees

to

stop

the

fight

or

to

say

that's

an

illegal

technique

you

can't

do

that.

You

must

know

how

to

defend

yourself

quickly

by

immobilizing

the

assailant

and escaping.

Our

focus

is

to

pass

on

the

teachings

and

understanding

of

the

ancient

art

of

Bushido

"the

way

of

the

warrior",

which

has

been

passed

down

to

us

by

Kanken

Toyama

through

his

students.

At

King

School

of

Karate

we

have

dedicated

years

of

training

into

the

understanding

and

practice

of

empty

hand

&

weapons

kata, and kumite (fighting).
