ADULT & FAMILY SANCHIN-RYU KARATE
Family Members and Adults, Ages 14 & up
Sanchin-Ryu is an artistic form of self-defense designed in a way, so that size or strength, age or athletic ability are not factors in defending one’s self.  Taught on an individual basis, students study in a non-competitive environment while working on Sanchin-Ryu’s practical movements and no-nonsense approach to self-defense.  To truly understand every facet of conflict resolution we study three levels of self-defense awareness; physical, mental and emotional.  Advanced students of all ages ranking Green Belt (2nd level) and above are also welcome to continue their Sanchin-Ryu training in this class.
