Karate
Classes are based on the Okinawan “Isshin Ryu” style (One Heart Way) of karate. We focus on self-defense techniques using proper body mechanics and kicks that are below the waist. We practice kata to develop a mind-body connection of these techniques. Sparring is not included as it is a contradiction to our philosophy of blocking and ending an attack quickly. All ages above 8 are welcome. Students have the option to move up through the ranks to become a Shodan/Black Belt, to participate in tournaments and ultimately become a karate teacher themselves! Expect a challenging traditional karate class that includes the YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Participants can wear loose functional clothing or order their own Gi.
Tuesdays are in Group Exercise Room 2 (GX2- No mirrors) from 6-7pm
Saturdays are in Group Exercise Room 1 (GX1- Mirrors) from Noon- 1pm
