read moreOkinawan Karate is not about sport, feeling good, or "self esteem". It is about effective, combat proven technique designed to allow you to protect yourself in real life situations. The Okinawan martial arts of which karate is the most commonly known today were developed over many centuries. While heavily influenced by Chinese and Japanese martial arts, these Okinawan arts developed along their own path, incorporating the commonly thought of defensive, striking and kicking techniques but also encompassing grappling, throws and the use of weapons to create a very well rounded defensive tradition.
