Our Karate-Dõ classes are for students ages 6 and up and includes beginners, novice, intermediate, and advanced students. They follow a traditional training format found in Japanese karate, while respecting each individual’s pace. Students practice kata (form), pre-arranged situational self-defense techniques, sport-sparring, and strength and flexibility/strength drills. Requiring students to engage their mind and body on many levels, Washin-ryu Karate-Dõ gives students an opportunity to better know themselves, to discover their true potential, and to become physically fit and proficient in self-defense.
