EDGEWATER NJ ADULT CLASSES

In October 2010, Katana Karate started classes in New Jersey Edgewater both for beginners and advanced karate practitioners with 3 times weekly and hope that soon we are going to have enough advanced members to extend our schedule to every day.

 

When that happens we will add katana classes in which we practice bushido martial art of kumite. In these classes, we are going to incorporate Shinan Taiji Kase’s philosophy of samurai martial art, free of modern, sport segments…  


Rather than to focus on modern, sport style and discredited belt ranking, Katana Karate captures and continues to follow Shinan Kase’s principles in Traditional Shotokan Karate based on Bushido, Budo and Zen philosophy of Martial Art.  

We can all win and lose every fight.

There is no first attack.

Think hard before to engage.

An angry opponent is very predictable but equally dangerous.
