The unique quality of Imperatori Karate is that goals and structure keep your training on course. There are six techniques to demonstrate when you test for a White Belt on the tenth karate class. A Black Belt is years away, but you train with this goal on your long-term list of future accomplishments. The achievement of these stripes and belts punctuate your steady progress. Quality of life and health are continually improved with increased flexibility, strength, balance and cardiovascular health.
Fad workouts come in and out of style, largely because long-term growth is limited.
Experience an excercise that is ever challenging and always rewarding - Imperatori Karate. Many styles of the martial arts are very traditional, and although valuable for cultural and historical purposes, practicality is often peripheral. Applying punches from boxing, kicks from Japanese styles, and a variety of knee and elbow strikes, you will begin to feel empowered after the very first class. Executing these techniques with full force into targets and punching bags leads to strength and accuracy, giving you the tools to defend yourself and, ultimately, the air of quiet confidence that would-be predators detect and avoid. This external and internal power will grow and sharpen over time with your practice and our guidance.
