Kenshin Kan karate consists of three main parts:
Our karate classes are taught with real life application for today’s world rather then tournament style. We focus on safety awareness, self-discipline, self-confidence, coordination, respect, physical fitness, and setting goals.
Open to Everyone ages 7 yrs & Up
- Empty-hand (空手) - the practice of Kihon (basic blocks, punches, kicks) and Kata (forms), as well as the application of these through the traditional Okinawan training methods of Kakie, Kakede and Kakedameshi (sparring with Kakede).
- Kobudo (古武道) - the "old martial way" of using traditional Okinawan weapons such as the bo, sai, kama, tonfa and nunchaku. Kobudo study allows students to keep the ancient martial way alive, while at the same time giving them confidence in being able to defend against an attacker with a weapon.
- Tuite (取手術) - the ancient Okinawan art of using wrist, elbow, and arm locks to capture, throw and bring under control an attacker. Tuite is often called “grappling”; however, unlike most other grappling arts, the goal of Tuite is for the practitioner to stay standing and in control while the opponent is brought to the ground and submitted.
