What We Teach                                                             

 Isshinryu is a style of Okinawan karate   founded by Tatsuo Shimabuku and   named by him on January 15, 1956.   Isshin-Ryu Karate is largely a synthesis   of Shorin-ryu karate, Goju-ryu karate,   and kobudo. The system is summed up   in its kata, or formal practice methods,   and the specific techniques used to   punch (vertical fist) and kick (snapping   kicks).

Jiu-Jitsu promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant using joint-holds and chokeholds to defeat an opponent.

ESCRIMA

Escrima is a popular Filipino martial art dating back to the 1500s, during the colonization of the Philippine Islands by the Spanish. Escrima is a very simplified but practical form of combat technique originally designed as a self-defense tool. Because of its effectiveness, Escrima is also taught extensively in many Special Forces including the Navy Seals and Army Special Forces.

CHAMBARA

The word “chambara” loosely translates to “sword fighter." Chambara has evolved into a fun recreational pastime plus a major stress reducer. It is a part of the Japanese Department of Education and Recreation. Today, chambara is the fastest-growing combative sport in the United States. Weapons used are long & short sword, bo, and nunchaku.
