ABOUT OUR TRAINING PROGRAMS

KARATE

Karate is a system of unarmed fighting using kicks and hand thrusts. Traditional karate focus on KATA (pre-arranges sequences of movements) and techniques training. Kicks and punches are usually pulled to avoid injury. Sport and full-contact karate students train to score points and to win in competition. You are required to wear a GI (or uniform) and you earn a BELT as you master each level of training. Training involves repitition of forms and structured drills. Methods vary in all DOJOS (or training halls) and is influenced by the instructors expertise. All styles have great and devastating power. What style works depends on the specific situation. Sensei Ali teaches a form which combines exercise, and the Okinowan Shindo-Ryu karate style which emphasizes strong, linear offensive techniques and soft circular, defensive techniques and KATA practice.

Kick-Boxing

Kick-boxing is a cross between BOXING and the traditional MARTIAL ARTS. Training sessions include jogging, building up the body to take punishment, stretching, skipping and weight training. Preparation for fighting includes bag work, hook and jab pad work, techniques training and sparring with a partner. You are not required to wear a uniform and you do not have to earn a belt. Prior experience is not required but helpful. KICKBOXING appeals to many different types of people. Martial arts students want to see whether they can really fight. Men and women want to train for the fitnes aspect of it. It is more stimulating than other ways of staying fit. In fact, there is no better way to lose weight, tone muscle and build self-confidence. You can quickly master self defense techniques.
