Isshinryu Karate: Traditional Strength and Efficiency

Isshinryu Karate is a dynamic style of Okinawan karate known for its potent combinations of strikes and grappling techniques. Developed by Tatsuo Shimabuku, this martial art emphasizes relaxed stances, swift movements, and powerful strikes. With emphasis on safety and self-defense, our instructors guide students through kata (formal practice) and kumite (sparring) to improve their skills.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Effective Ground Fighting

In our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, students learn the art of grappling and ground fighting. This invaluable self-defense skill focuses on utilizing leverage and technique to subdue an opponent. Students will learn joint locks, chokeholds, and escapes to confidently defend themselves in real-world situations.

Escrima: Ancient Filipino Martial Art

Our school also offers instruction in Escrima, a traditional Filipino martial art using weapons like the sword, bo, and nunchaku. This unique style promotes practical self-defense and showcases the rich heritage of the Philippines.
