 
Teens & Adults 17 Years and Older
The movements of karate develop coordination and increases strength and
flexibility.
Karate for adults emphasizes a positive atmosphere in which to gain all
the benefits of martial arts including Reduce Stress, Build Confidence,
Set Goals and get in Great Shape. The style
of
Okinwan Karate we do is great for teens & adults of all ages. Okinawans
practice Karate into their 90s. We emphasize relaxed motions and lower
kicks that are not only more practicle for self-defense, but also great
as
you mature.
The awarding of the higher levels of karate belts gives you a sense of
achievement and accomplishment. Karate is a self-paced activity whereby
you
work with your fellow students and the Academy Team Elite Staff Members in
a supportive environenment. Some of the best friends you'll ever meet
might
be from your Karate Class.
The foundation of karate is its self-defense value. We are very careful
to
teach adults and children that karate is not to be used outside the
karate
class in any manner other than in true self-defense. The result is
a
self-confident individual, who does not need to bully or show-off
to others.
Students learn the importance of Black Belt Excellence, a metaphor for demonstrating
strong character.

What Students Say About our Adult Program
|
 |
Five years ago, I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me that I would travel to several foreign countries,
switch careers and fields, earn an MBA, help start a company and strive
to earn a black belt. Karate has given me more confidence to try new
things, more discipline to persist when times are difficult, more health
and energy to meet my daily objectives and more focus to strive at
the most important things in my life.
