These skills help you learn more advanced and intricate martial arts techniques that will build upon your basic training. This style is very beneficial for younger students as it helps build reflexes, coordination, and timing. In this style, the focus is on linear speed and snap. Defensive movements are straight up, down, in, out, and to the side. Offensive moves are straight, side, back, and forward.

Self-Defense
Self-defense in Karate is straightforward and powerful. The attacks are linear, as they target weak points on your opponent with sharp precision. The blocks are just as powerful as the attacks, and can sometimes break bones, giving you the ability to end a fight before it starts. This style of self-defense is easy to pick up, while still being brutally effective.

Discipline & Focus
This style challenges you to be precise with every block and every attack. The blocks in Karate go no farther than needed in order to protect the body, meanwhile the attacks target specific points on your opponent’s body. This discipline is often developed through thousands of repetitions over time. Working on this style will also build a tremendous amount of focus as you hone your attacks, making sure each one is as precise as the last. This heightened focus will not only help in your training, but it will also translate to other aspects of daily life, such as meeting work deadlines, achieving your goals, and increased personal growth.

Strength & Endurance
Karate features hard, linear movements that build a great amount of strength throughout the body. The blocks and attacks in this style develop the muscles individually by isolating them, which allows them to grow more powerful as you progress. The combination of strong lower body positions and powerful hand attacks will build strength in the upper and lower body, as well as improve your overall endurance through increased blood flow.
