Our budo is traditional Okinawan Goju Shorei Ryu Karate-Do, which translates as Hard Soft Shaolin Style Empty Hand Way. Our style combines the blocks, kicks and strikes of Karate with the throws, takedowns and ground techniques of its predecessor Kempo JuJitsu, which has its roots in ancient Chinese Chuan Fa. We believe it to be a very well rounded system of self defense. Our Sensei, Mr. Verne Gilbert has studied the martial arts and in particular Karate-Do for over forty years. Sensei is very much a traditional martial artist who believes that there is no substitute for a strong knowledge of the basic techniques. He believes that the formal exercise known as kata is the essence of Karate-Do and that self defense techniques known as kumite waza and goshin waza are the heart. Therefore our classes are filled with the study of basic techniques, ( physical and mental ), kata and self defense. Please view the below listed pages for additional information and visit us often. You are always welcome.
