Arizona Karate & Kobudo

What to Expect. When you walk into our school, we will greet you as friends. We will teach you the history & traditions of Okinawan karate.  We will even teach you a little Japanese & train you in the basics of karate that will build a foundation for self-defense and self-esteem.

You will learn to kick, block & punch. You will learn about kata (forms) & bunkai (self-defense applications in kata). We will focus on pragmatic self-defense & teach you kobudo (Okinawan weapons).

As you progress, you will learn to defend against multiple attackers, knife & gun attacks, clubs & more.  As one advances to higher levels, they will learn body hardening & learn how to teach martial arts as we also certify instructrors.

Karate training is about the whole person. We emphasize that karate is never used against anyone except in self-defense. No one should be unarmed in today's society. With karate, you are always armed and walk with self-confidence & self-esteem.
