Adult Karate Classes
Our adult karate classes focus on karate fundamentals and self-defense techniques while providing a challenging workout. We offer all adult levels of training from beginner to advanced (ages 14 and up).
Learning traditional Goju-Ryu Seiwa-Kai karate builds strength, agility, coordination, and fitness, while cultivating the aspects of the classic martial arts principles of: discipline, focus, perseverance, and respect.
For white belt through black belt karateka, Adult Classes focus on karate fundamentals. There are three main sections of karate: basics (kihon), forms (kata), and sparring (kumite). All of these promote health, fitness, and discipline through structure.
Basics (kihon) covers stances, punches, blocks, and kicking techniques. Forms (kata) covers choreographed patterns of offensive and defensive karate moves that are practiced alone. This includes the application (bunkai) of the techniques in the kata. Sparring (kumite)—which can be trained for sport or self-defense—covers how to react to an adversary and training is conducted with a partner in preparation for a real-life situation.
Adult classes help to develop and maintain fitness, build stamina, balance, strength, agility, and self-confidence while teaching traditional karate fundamentals for all levels of skill.
