Durham, North Carolina Training in karate is a great way to build strength, flexibility and self-confidence. Located in downtown Durham, Carolina Pines Women's Dojo offers a fun, encouraging, supportive and energetic atmosphere for women of all ages and fitness levels.
Many women come to the martial arts seeking physical fitness or practical self-defense skills.
Through the study of the art of karate, women discover their strength and develop physical technique. Through the study of practical self-defense skills, women learn effective ways to confront and deal with violent situations. But more importantly, by training consistently in a safe and respectful environment, women also find a place to develop body, mind, and spirit as a means of confronting and healing the fears and violence in their own hearts. CPWD students also study the practical self-defense techniques of Toei Jujutsu, a system developed by Grand Master Shimabukuro. Specialized self-defense classes can also be scheduled for individual groups.
