Traditional Karate | No board-breaking taught here . . .
We are often asked if we teach board breaking and the answer is ‘no’. Instead of flashy demonstrations that can lead to broken bones we teach karate.
Wado Ryu is a traditional style of Japanese Karate. Literally translated, “WA” means harmony or balance and “DO” means way or road in Japanese.
While we embrace the more current thinking of Long Term Athletic Development, we teach the etiquette and formalities found in traditional karate styles. We foster an environment of respect for individual effort and the effort of others, self confidence, personal strength and achievement of personal goals.
