Samurai Dragons

Isshin-Ryu Karate is an Okinawan vertical fist form of open-hand Martial Arts that focuses on a set of simple but direct techniques that have been proven effective for self-defense in both public and military settings. Classes focus on improving mechanics, accuracy, power, and control while building confidence in each student’s ability to execute the techniques effectively. Intermediate students also train in Okinawan Kobudo (weapons) including Bo, Sai, and Tonfa.

Satori Ryu Iaido is a traditional Japanese Martial Art for learning Samurai Swordsmanship. Classes focus on the skills, physical conditioning, and mental focus necessary to safely and effectively handle a Katana. Students begin with a Bokuto or wooden sword training the cut movements, self-defense and other drills necessary to become proficient with skills fundamental to this Martial Art. Intermediate students begin training with an Iaito or un-edged metal sword and Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo.

No previous martial arts experience is needed - just a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. A proven set of techniques based on traditional martial arts will be covered, and the trained responses will evolve over the course of this four-week series. In addition to a core set of striking techniques, a number of situational drills will be covered to teach you how to avoid and get out of bad situations.

All Martial Arts classes are handled through positive instruction with a strong focus on both mental and physical improvement while building the tools necessary to achieve your personal goals inside and outside the Dojo. Sheena and David have over 20 years of Martial Arts experience and welcome the opportunity to talk with you more about what we have to offer.
