SHITO-RYU KARATE-DO GENBU-KAI
LESSONS IN SHITO-RYU KARATE-DO GENBU-KAI
As a system of attack and defense, Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Genbu-Kai employs all parts of the body to kick, punch, chop or perform other movements to defend oneself. In addition, Karate-Do helps students build character, cultivating them to become valued members of the community. Utilizing modern teaching methods, personalized instruction, and a structured format, our instructors let students progress at their own pace, regardless of age or physical condition, in a small class environment. Plus, our lead karate instructors are certified students of Shihan Fumio Demura, an internationally recognized master of karate and head of Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Genbu-Kai International.
