The system of Karate that is taught at the Zen Martial Arts Center is Isshinryu. Isshinryu is known as a very practical karate system that includes punching, kicking, and grappling elements. The founder of Isshinryu Karate removed many less-than-practical elements such as the deep, slow stances that you may see in other martial arts.

We have an adult program designed specifically for those who had always wanted to enroll in a Martial Arts class but never did. It is focused on getting you in shape and relieving stress, teaching you effective and practical self-defense in a safe, peaceful environment. Above all, it will discipline your mind, help you gain control of your feelings, habits, and attitudes.

We teach character building tools found only in karate. No other sport can match them. After enrolling, watch as your child increases in confidence, energy, and spirit. Stand and be dazzled as he/she becomes unstoppable in his quest for: Greater academic achievement, unshakable self respect, increased strength and fitness, in both body and mind.

The martial arts are one of Okinawa's greatest secrets and are one of the ingredients as to why the Okinawan people are among the longest lived and healthiest in the world. The Okinawan Centenarian Study shows that regular physical exercise, such as that provided by Karate, is a strong factor as to why the Okinawan people live such long and healthy lives.
At the Zen Martial Arts Center our instructors teach this ancient art to both children and adults. You will find students and instructors at the center to be friendly and helpful. Everyone is on a quest for personal development and will help you along the way as well.
The instructors at the center are trained in the latest teaching techniques and are constantly on their own quest to be the best teachers and martial artists that they can be. They have been teaching children and adults for many years and pride themselves on their ability to mentor their students and bring out the best in them as they learn Okinawan Karate.
The Center also organizes many events for students and their family and friends. Some events that we have done in the past are school picnics, movie nights, holiday parties, and theme-park trips. Students often describe being at Zen Martial Arts Center is like having an extended family. |
