Karate (Nippon Kenpo) (Tuesday/Thursday)

Course Description

 
The student of American Nippon Kenpo learns self-defense techniques with an emphasis on punching, blocking, kicking, throwing, locks, chokes, and ground combat. Ultimately, the student acquires a great sense of discipline, self-defense awareness, and self-confidence.
Nippon Kenpo is a full force Japanese marital art. The students of Nippon Kenpo wear traditional protective equipment called BOGU. Bogu consists a chest protector (DO), traditional face mask (MEN), boxing gloves (KUROBU), and a groin protector (MATATE). Our students wear the equipment during both practice and competition. Children under the age of 15 are not required to wear the headgear. Although we are a part of Master Goki Kinuya’s particular line of tradition, all practitioners are recognized and appreciated. Today, our dojos strictly follow the traditions passed down to us through Master Muneomi Sawayama, and Master Goki Kinuya.
