Why Karate? Traditional Okinawan Karate teaches not only self defense, but discipline, self-control and manners. It instills a lifelong learning ethic in its students. Students are taught lessons that transcend physical fitness and affect every facet of life. Students build positive relationships and have positive role models in class. Rules are strict and traditional, but the rewards are tremendous. Karate can be a life changing study that lasts life long.
