What We Teach

What We Teach

At our NJ-based Karate School / Martial Arts and Weapons Academy, we teach numerous styles including:

• Aikido - Aikido is the Japanese martial art that was created by Morihei Ueshiba. It focuses upon using one’s own personal energy to gain the upper hand in combat and incorporates a plethora of dynamic, circular, smooth motions. We offer both adult and kids Aikido classes.
• Bo-staff - The Bo Staff is traditionally a 6′ long wooden staff that can be used for both defense and katas. It is part of our weapons class offerings.
• Cane Class - Did you know that common, simple walking canes can be extraordinarily effective for self-defense? Come to our cane class and see for yourself.
• Escrima - Escrima is a Filipino martial art that utilizes stick fighting. Eskrima is also known as Kali; we offer classes in this martial art as well.
• Goju-Ryu Karate - Japanese for "Hard-soft style", Goju-Ryu karate utilizes a combination of both hard and soft techniques. Hard techniques include striking attacks (kicks/punches) with the softer, blending/circular motions for blocking, throws and the like. We also provide sparring classes for children and adults alike.
  
• Iaido - Iaido differs from Kendo in that it’s a precise Martial Arts discipline that focuses upon katas only. It is the non-battle interpretation of Iaijustu (the art of unsheathing the sword, striking to kill and end the fight, and then sheathing it again…all in once stance).
• Karate Katas - Karate Katas are one of the most important aspects of Martial Arts, and we teach a large number of them. We offer kata classes for children and adults alike in New Jersey.
  
• Kendo - Kendo is another weapons class we teach. Kendo is the ‘art of the sword’ and our students learn both the traditional forms and sword katas, as well as spar. In other words, it’s the non-combat interpretation of Kenjustu (the art of the sword techniques in battle).
• Kick Boxing - We offer two types of kick-boxing at our NJ academy - traditional kick-boxing and cardio kickboxing
• Nunchaku - Nunchaku (sometimes called "nun-chucks") is part of the weapons classes that we offer. All weapons are rubber or foam and we teach beginners, intermediate and advanced. The best of our students are invited to perform in our Demo team for community events.
• Tai Chi - Tai Chi Chuan is a wonderfully effective martial art that promotes good health and long life. A soft martial art, it involves slow motion routines that emphasize finding balance and calmness.
