Beginning Karate

Beginning Karate is designed for students who have never trained in Shorin-Ryu before. Students are taught the basic techniques, six basic combinations, terminology, and the first kata. Even if you have trained in another martial arts style, this is a good place to start. After a quarter in Beginning Karate, students may promote to 8th kyu (white belt, two stripes).

Intermediate Karate

Intermediate Karate includes students of all levels. It is possible to promote through black belt ranks in this class. Students are taught advanced basic combinations, the kata appropriate for their rank, martial applications. Focus is on improving technique and movement.

Karate Sparring

Students of all levels are welcome to participate in Karate Sparring. No previous martial arts experience is expected or required. Sensei McCormick teaches kicking techniques, such as front kick, roundhouse kick, axe kick, and side kick, and hand techniques such as jab and punch, as well as blocking techniques. Instruction and feedback on sparring technique is emphasized.
