IKA's student 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:
