This program is offered to those individuals who have already taken the beginner Karate class. Participants will train 2 days per week and register monthly for the program. This program provides training in self-defense, basic kicking, blocking, punching techniques and situation awareness.
This beginner class for adults or children emphasizes “when to use” the self-defense skills taught. Situation awareness and recognition of potential danger is coupled with basic Karate blocking and striking technique to help the students become “street safe”. Parents are welcome to view classes any time. This class is taught by certified Black Belt instructors from the Butch Marino’s Shorin-RyuKarate Institute.
