Karate classes are an excellent way to get into shape, learn self-defense, and build coordination. Training with other students is one of the best ways to sharpen your skills as a karate student.

Kobudo Classes
Our Kobudo Classes focus on traditional Japanese/Okinawan weapons: Bo, Nunchaku, Eaku, Tonfa, Sai, Kama. Many of these weapons were improvised from farming tools because regular weapons (spears, swords, bows and arrows) were restricted to the ruling class. At KMA we teach a progression of weapons that allows students to grow in their understanding and eventual mastery of each weapon.

From developing awareness about your surroundings to being physically prepared to fight back, our program develops confidence in all areas. Our program borrows from many different martial arts styles including Karate, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga and others. We teach self defense from all aspects – standup, on the ground, against weapons and against multiple attackers.
