Children’s Karate                                                Age 6-12

Self Esteem, Self Confidence, Self Defense, Coordination, Speed, Strength, Agility, Focus, Respect... The list is endless in what Karate can do for your child. How is it done? Karate is more than just an exercise class. The Military style of teaching that is coherent with any Martial Arts class demands these things out of every student. It is done however very delicately combining compassion with strict discipline. Each child develops at their own pace and is rewarded for doing their very best. Sensei Banister works directly with parents on home issues such as chores and respect for siblings as well as school issues such as doing their best, minding their teachers, and respect for others. Achieving Black Belt is a journey geared toward the positive development of every student.

Ryukyu Kempo                                                      Age 13+

This art was originally only taught to the first born son of the Samurai. It was created for Self Defense and not sport. Families had to defend themselves during a time of no police, no protectors, and no guns. Its core training exists within the Kata, a series of movements mapping out the angle and direction to attack pressure points within the human body, shutting down internal organs and causing death. It is referred to as "1- second fighting", "Dim Mak", Kyusho Jitsu or Pressure Point Fighting.

Today, Ryukyu Kempo is taught to the student in a Karate format. The class consists of stretching and basic Strikes and Kicks. As the students progress they learn the Ancient Katas. The series of movements create precision, speed and power within the body. Muscle memory is developed giving the student the physical ability to attack pressure points in the body for self defense during a violent situation. Tuite Jitsu or Pressure Point Grappling is also a major part of Ryukyu Kempo. The Art is a complete study of human anatomy and human physiology for the purpose of self defense as well as healing. Free sparring is also a part of the classroom experience where the student learns timing and the ability to react under pressure. This is a controlled atmosphere and student safety is our priority.

Throughout the world today Pressure Points are used in the Military and Law Enforcement fields. Here in Michigan Pressure Points are taught in every Police Academy where Law Enforcement personnel learn to use Pressure Points safely to subdue a violent law offender, thus keeping them and the officer safe from harm.

Ryukyu Kempo is a very fascinating Martial Art. It is perfect for the beginner as well as for the experienced Black Belt. Whether you're looking to get into shape, learn some self defense, or add to your existing Martial Art, Ryukyu Kempo will provide you with all that you are seeking.
