Weapons at KF USA

空 = Kara = "Empty" and 手 = te = "Hand," so Karate was originally a weaponless art - or rather, the body is the weapon. However, just as Karate Schools also use kicks (we are about 50:50 at KF USA), which are not "empty hands" either, there are traditional weapons that we practice. Everyone except our youngest Little Ninja group is able to learn the following 4 wooden weapons:

Tonfa, Escrima, Nunchaku and Staff - our Weapon day eack week spends a month on each one, and then we cycle through the "T-E-N-S" rotation 3x/year.

We also have metal weapons that we add to the mix once someone has earned their Black Belt (while we continue to work on the wooden weapons).

Weapons training increases hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness, and many techniques have parallels to unarmed attacks and defenses.  While we (hopefully!) do not walk around carrying weapons or get into trouble, it is an interesting way to preserve the traditions.  (And if trouble happens when a stick is nearby, we will have some additional skills to employ.)

For some people, Weapons are one of their favorite classes, whereas others prefer all the other training we also do.  We like to offer enough of a range of skills and variation to give everyone enough to keep them challenged and happy!

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!

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
