International Karate Association's Adult Karate curriculum is designed to take you step-by-step to Black Belt and beyond in an encouraging, supporting, and challenging environment by our highly skilled and dedicated Karate instructors.
IKA's Adult Karate class is not merely a form of self-defense. It is also a method of self-awareness. The complete control required to master the physical movements, and the effort and discipline put forth in the harmonizing of the mind and body, form the foundation for the development of good citizenship and strong character. Karate is an art which can benefit all.
Karate is a martial art which was developed in Japan after many centuries of evolution in the orient. It is an art that develops both mental and physical discipline in its students.
The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in winning the fight, but rather in the perfection of the student's character. As in all traditional Japanese arts, the object of Karate is found in the way in which people strive to develop themselves through the systematic training of their mind, body, and spirit to the height of human potential.
In addition, you'll enjoy dozens of life-changing benefits starting with your very first class. Here's just a taste of what you can expect:
Karate is manifested in the expression of power and movement; its method is the disciplined use of the entire body; its means are the defensive movements of blocking, striking, punching, and kicking.
Be confident that your results will exceed your expectations. From an incredible workout to remarkable self-defense skills and everything in between, you'll enjoy results that are nothing short of amazing.

I am very pleased that I have found your Karate studio. I feel very welcome as a new student. I have found all staff/ instructors to be profoundly patient and beyond skilled on an exponential level.
The most evident thing to me as a new student is: I feel the heart and joy of this Karate because everybody in the studio conveys that feeling. So for me.. if you want my input as a newcomer,I like the joy the most :) and the : hard work, sweat, wood floors and nothing fancy.
I have told ALL my friends where I work ( in a hospital ) to come visit because I think that your studio is a GEM!! I have a friend who does Judo at work, and he was interested to stop by with his instructor - but... I do not know the policy on drop ins, and do not want to be rude.
So to sum up, if I had one recommendation to change it would be: don't fundamentally. That is the truth Your studio is very unique. I would maybe recommend some add'l items for purchase- like bumper stickers, or T- shirts w/ IKA logo - because I will so represent.
I think also that the Kumite tournaments you will be doing will benefit the kids. BTW- I also think your web site is excellent too. So that is my 2 cents. Thanks for this privilege!
