Lexington, Kentucky

KARATEDO classes

Students study classical Japanese Karatedo in a traditional, non-competitive atmosphere that stresses refined forms practice and discipline. Students will increase their physical fitness, mental focus, and self-confidence through the study of this martial art. Beginning participants will learn basic hand and foot techniques, incorporating them into forms and partner drills. As students progress, more advanced techniques are introduced along with increased understanding of their application. Karatedo rank and colored belts are awarded to students who successfully demonstrate skill levels appropriate for advancement. Advanced students are afforded the opportunity to practice select Okinawa Kobudo weapons.
