Shorin-Ryu Karate for Children
Ueshiro Merritt Island Karate Dojo is conducting traditional Shorin-Ryu Karate classes. These classes are the authentic form, just as it has been practiced and handed down for centuries by the “Bushi” or samurai.
The Shorin-Ryu style of karate relies heavily on practice of basic techniques and the performance of katas, ancient pre-arranged exercises where one is either attacking or defending against an imaginary opponent. Performance of katas not only strengthens physical techniques but also enhances the spirit and mind.
Your child will learn the physical aspects of karate when they begin. As they grow and develop as a martial artist, they’ll learn more and more about the mental, philosophical and spiritual aspects of karate, which are essential to a rich understand and practice of the art of karate.
