Traditional Japanese Karate in Downingtown, PA.
Our karate training consists of practicing Basics, Kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring). Basics comprises all the kicking, punching, striking and blocking movements of Shotokan Karate. Kata combines the various moves in to a pre-defined group, which are performed in sequence against imaginary opponents. Kumite begins with partner drills of pre-arranged attacks and counter attacks and later moves on to free sparring using any of the techniques learned in Basics and Kata, all practiced in a controlled environment.
Our chief instructor is well-respected throughout our interantional organization. He is an 8th degree black belt, and began his training in 1970 under Master Teruyuki Okazaki.
