Programs
We offer two separate martial arts programs:
one for children, and one for teens and adults. Regardless
of your age or ability, we start everyone with three free
beginning classes. You can choose from day and or evening
classes so it will fit into your schedule. These free
lessons give the student a chance to learn about our
teaching philosophies and what we have the ability to teach;
at the same time we evaluate your strength, co-ordination,
flexibility, and desire so we know what kind of training you
should follow up with.
Following this introductory program we have guaranteed belt
curriculum classes for men, women, and children with special
prices for family memberships. A guaranteed belt program
simply means you will train until you reach the rank you
have purchased, regardless of how long that takes. With this
type of program, if you cannot attend your classes (because
of vacation, illness, etc…) it will not affect your
membership. Classes start as early as 10:00 a.m. and as late
as 8:00 p.m. A student should attend class at least once a
week to ensure satisfactory progress.
Once you have enrolled in our belt curriculum program, you
learn to defend yourself as you are developing true
confidence which is built through knowledge of the mind,
honesty of the heart, and strength of the body. Short term
and long term goal setting concepts and a positive mental
attitude are major components of our Martial Arts training.
Our instructors are second to none and are dedicated to
helping you reach your goals.
Please feel free to call or stop in our school for
additional information or to arrange for your three free
introductory lessons.
Children's Martial Arts Program
The Children’s program is for ages up to 12 years old. Their
Karate skills are taught by certified Black Belt instructors
personally trained by Master Phil Morgan.
The program is designed to teach a child physical skills as
well as life’s skills such as good manners, etiquette, and
morals. We believe and have proven that these skills
increase a child’s self-confidence and self-discipline and
is noticeable to parents almost immediately. Most parents
report improvement in concentration which results in better
school grades.
There are many kinds of goal setting concepts and awards for
the children that can be earned such as Academic Team,
Attendance Award, Physical Fitness Award, Demonstration
Team, Competition Team and our S.W.A.T. Team (Special
Winning Attitude Team).
We teach the children how to set goals. Mostly short term
goals at first, so they can be reached on a weekly basis
which will create a positive motivation system which helps
the child to learn “Stick-to-it-iveness.” We help them
understand the more short term goals they accomplish, the
closer their long term goal becomes a reality.
Our Goal: To make children goal-setters, trend-setters,
achievers and leaders of our community.
Teen/Adult Martial Arts Program
Our Teen/Adult program is for ages 13 years old and above.
They are taught by Master Phil Morgan and certified
Blackbelt instructors personally trained by Master Morgan.
We have found that our students’ reasons for taking the
Martial Arts is as varied as the age groups in the classes.
Some people desire the physical workout and fitness that it
provides. Some people attend for the self defense and or the
self control and the self discipline the Martial Arts
creates through mind and body control. Our Martial Arts
program is designed to allow students to work out at their
own pace and are never compared to other students or made to
do things they don’t feel comfortable with.
Some of the benefits you will experience in the Teen/Adult
classes is the body toning and weight loss through
exercising nearly every muscle in your body. This also
causes a great tension and stress reliever for those who are
under a lot of daily pressure. Martial Arts is actually
recognized as the best exercise by the President’s Council
on Physical Fitness.
Shorei Goju Ryu Ranking System
Our style of karate, Shorei Goju Ryu, uses a system of
colored belts to recognize a student's accomplishments. Each
student is given a log book that explains the skills and
knowledge they must demonstrate to promote to the next rank.
When a student successfully demonstrates these skills, he or
she is presented with a new belt. Following is a list of our
