Karate in Vancouver
Event Information
Description
Karate is a fighting art which was born in Okinawa, raised in Japan and is loved world wide.
We practice both Shotokan Karate Do and Fighting Karate.
In our Shotokan classes we focus on the practice of Kata forms. Through the use of Bunkai we explore how our Kata can be used as a practical tool for civilian self defense.
Fighting Karate focuses more on the sport aspects of Karate and prepares students for the four rings of Kumite [sparring]: long range JKA or WKF style striking, close range Kyokushin and modified Sabaki style striking, stand up grappling as is practiced by wrestlers and Judo-ka and Newaza or ground fighting, the proffered arena of BJJ practitioners and Catch wrestlers.
10 regular members and many visitors come to our regular workouts. Bring training clothes, and be ready to learn and have fun.
