City of Visalia Parks & Recreation Karate
A Traditional Japanese Discipline
|
Welcome to the City of Visalia Parks & Recreation Karate Program. Established in 1975, ours is the oldest Karate school in Visalia. Our program does not emphasize fighting or competition. Our goal is conditioning, self-defense, and the character building virtues and protocols of Japanese Budo. Our school and our Black-Belt instructors are certified in Japan.
Our primary discipline is Goju-Ryu Karate developed by Chojun Miyagi, in the Okinawan Islands of Japan. Gojuryu means the Hard-Soft Style and refers to the softness of blocking and the hardness of counter striking. Goju-Ryu uses blocks, strikes, kicks, throws, & submissions, using both linear & lateral movements. Our secondary disciplines are Shito-Ryu Karate, Kenshinryu Kobudo, and Nihon Jujutsu. |
