Welcome to the web page of Visalia Karate-Do. We are a school of traditional Japanese Budo. Established in 1975, we are the oldest Karate-Do program in Visalia. As a member of the Visalia Parks and Recreation Department, we are the official Karate program for the City. Our program does not emphasize fighting or competition. Our goal is to build a better person through the principles, protocols, and philosophies of Japanese Budo. Our School and our Black-Belt Instructors are certified in Japan.
Our discipline is Goju-Ryu Karate-Do created by Chojun Miyagi in the Okinawan Islands of Japan. Goju-Ryu means the Hard-Soft Style and refers to methods of breathing as well as soft blocking and hard counter-striking. Goju-Ryu uses blocks, strikes, kicks, throws, and submissions, and employs both linear and lateral movements. Our practice includes Junbi Undo (Calisthenics), Kihon (Basics), Kata (Forms), Bunkai (Kata Applications), Kumite (Sparring Applications), Ju-Jutsu (Grappling Applications), and Kobudo (Weapons).
