Dedicated to enhancing our studentsLearning a martial art can be the memorizing of moves, but at Shorin-ryu Karate Academy we focus on teaching our students much more. Martial arts is, a way of life. Martial arts is a way of life because it stresses self discipline, respect and self control. When you practice a strike, a kick, or a throw, the goal is to understand your body and be one with the movement. Eventually the goal is to, in time, be completely present in the moment and learn how to bring out the right amount of self control or controlled aggression when you need it. All the stresses in your life become much more manageable when you know how to find your center and understand that you have the mental tools you need to overcome the situation.Martial arts instructionOur instructors are expertly trained martial artists and experienced teachers.
