NEWS AND EVENTS

Looking for a personalized approach to Martial Arts training?

We provide instruction of traditional karate-do and self-defense for all ages and levels in a fun, family oriented environment. Our class sizes are small and taught by certified instructors. We seek to inspire students to learn and grow in their own way. We understand students with special challenges as well as those searching to excel at an individualized sport.
In addition to our normal curriculum, which includes self defense skills, karate-do history and philosophy, tumbling and falling as safety skills, traditional Saito-ha Shito-Ryu kata (forms) which hold self-defense techniques, and sparring, Ichibankarate offers a rich competition program for those interested. We seek to foster a healthy attitude towards competition by emphasizing the personal rewards that come from striving to do your best versus extrinsic awards that may or may not be reflective of personal performance.
We have a program specifically designed for younger less experienced juniors. We teach them the basic skills required for competition in a fun, relaxed manner. They are also taught good sportsmanship and how to humbly deal with successes and failures.
Ichibankarate also offers an intense competition program for teens and adults that prepares them for competition at the highest levels. To read more about our competition program, click here.
