Martial Arts Concepts and Components

Concepts and Components to Develop as a Martial Artist:

Concepts and Components to Develop as a Martial Artist:

AWARENESS: The more AWARE you are of yourself, your surroundings, your situation and your abilities, the better you will be able to deal with whatever arises - or avoid problems in the first place!

DISTANCE: If you can control the distance, you can usually control the fight. If distance is wrong, otherwise good techniques can become less effective or even ineffective.

BALANCE: On a basic level, balance is like distance, and "Kuzushi" is the process of breaking down the opponent's balance to make techniques more effective. Maintain your balance while disrupting your opponent's, and victory will come more easily. And balance is also important in life!

 

TIMING: If your timing is proper, everything is easier. If not, everything is harder.

SPEED and STRENGTH: Speed helps techniques find their mark and helps your reactions, and Strength helps the techniques have maximum effect. We work on each, but stronger techniques are often slower.

ACCURACY and STRUCTURE: Proper aim is important to hit your target, and proper positioning and stances are important for channeling your strength, speed and properly-timed techniques, etc.

FOCUS and INTENT: The above components can all be there, but without focus and intent something will still be lacking. Developing proper focus and intent by its very nature improves  the effects.

CONTROL: A proper martial artist should have control over his or her techniques, deciding whether to continue or stop before damaging. We want to practice realistic self-defense and sparring without injury. Martial arts training also helps us control ourselves outside the dojo - our emotions, our indulgences, etc.

Kids Martial Arts Classes - try for free!

Thank you for your interest in Children's Karate / Martial Arts Classes. We have separate classes for different age groups and experience levels, allowing us to have group-appropriate content and activities. We also sometimes use our two different rooms to focus on subgroups within a class. Our students learn to protect themselves, express themselves, and grow as people and as martial artists.

We focus on self-development and fitness through self-defense, but in an age-appropriate, safe and fun manner. -This is why some of our Instructors have been with us for 10, 15 and even 20 or more years, often themselves starting as a Little Ninja!

We always offer a free trial, either in their group or private mini-class if preferred, and we offer a New Student Special to allow for an extended risk-free chance to confirm they want to continue training longer-term with us.

Thank you for contacting us. We will follow up with you as soon as we can to answer any questions you might have and to schedule your free trial class! You can also call or text 609-690-9060 for more info, and can pre-register for your trial class at www.karatefitusa.net/signup

Adult Martial Arts - Try a Free Class!

We offer Adult classes for all ability and experience levels, sometimes using our two rooms and offering variations to challenge Beginners and Advanced students and properly direct the material.

We focus on self-development and fitness through self-defense, but in a safe, fun and effective manner. Our classes include Karate, Weapons and Small Circle Jujitsu techniques, with both solo, partner and group work.  Training brings mental and physical health benefits, and increases confidence to help improve your life outside of karate as well - even if you hopefully never need to use the many techniques you will learn!

Please come in for a free trial, either a regular group class to see what that is all about, or we can also arrange a private mini-class if preferred. We then have a New Student Special to allow for an extended risk-free period to reconfirm you like our approach and look to continue longer-term.

Thank you for contacting us. We will follow up with you as soon as we can to answer any questions you might have and to schedule your free trial class! You can also call or text 609-690-9060 for more info, and can pre-register for your trial class at www.karatefitusa.net/signup
