Our distinctive lineage allows practitioners to uncover profound techniques and insights of a secret art within Karate. Known as the “old way of Karate,” our non-sporting style stresses the character-building, self-confidence, self-discipline, physical strength, and self-defense that comes from practicing Classical Okinawan Karate.

Our rudimentary disciplines consist of what we call Kihon, fundamental muscle memory exercises; twelve empty-hand Katas, a series of hand and feet techniques that move in a set sequence; and Okinawa Kobudō weaponry consisting of suburitō and shinai training swords, as well as classical weapons like the bō, jō, tanbo, chizikunbo, eku, nunti-bō, sai, manji-sai, tonfa, and kama.

Our applied disciplines include Bunkai Kata, used to improve timing and coordination; Bōgu Kumite, sparring using protective armor; and Jitsu, joint manipulation, vital area and nerve-striking techniques hidden within our Kata.
