Kung Fu

Do you remember Kung Fu (The Series), Hai Karate (the cologne) or Enter the Dragon (with Bruce Lee)?

If you do then we have a Karate Program for you. For years we have taught Karate as an Art in the Traditional Manner. Our Program encompasses everything you need for better fitness, health and self protection.

Over the years karate has become a watered down version of kickboxing, cardio kickboxing, areobic karate, etc.

At the United States Karate Academy we teach the following:

• Karate: taught as an art in the traditional manner (don't be fooled, this is a very practical form of self-defense) Remember Karate originated in Okinawa then went to Japan, the United States and the rest of the world. Anyone teaching anything less than this is just making stuff up.
• Kobudo: The ancient art of weaponry. The Okinawans learned to use their everyday farm and fisherman's tools for self protection. What resulted was a very refined art of Kobudo or ancient weaponry.
• Yoga: historically used in karate conditioning. The outcome is a way of health and fitness that is second to none. Most of today's "super" exercises derived from yoga. They have been used by the military, special forces, exercise physiologists, exercise scientists and top fitness centers.
• Zen: meditation. Not a religion nor religious practice. It is a very refined method for increasing focus and concentration, relaxing and reducing stress. Top sports psychologists utilize these techniques for optimum sports performance through visualization. Top executives and CEOs are using these practices for overall increased performance in the business world.
• Shiatsu: finger pressure massage. During your training in the martial arts self care is very important while balancing your life and body. Shiatsu helps restore balance to your body and mind by releasing tension, increasing blood flow and relaxing muscles and reducing stress. Sales professionals in Japan utilize these tecniques to restore balance and reduce tension during stressful moments.
