American Karate

What is American Karate?

American Karate is a warrior discipline based on powerful attacks executed in perfect rhythm and directed to vital points of the body. The techniques do not follow a set pattern and can be changed instantly to suit any situation.

American Karate is a savagely effective fighting art. The objective of this art is the complete “neutralization” of the opponent. A basic premise of American Karate is that there are “no rules in a fight” and incorporates techniques that aim to remove a threat as quickly and effectively as possible. In real hand to hand combat, an actual encounter usually last no more than 3 to 5 seconds.

The combination of kicks, punches, strikes, and leverages are based on scientific principles of physics. When these combinations are directed to vital parts of the body, using balance, coordination and timing, they are extremely powerful, swift and effective.

American Karate can be used effectively by smaller, weaker persons against larger assailants, as it does not rely on brute strength. The techniques can be changed to fit any given situation and do not follow a set pattern. These natural, circular movements make it a common sense fighting art.

As students study the art it builds confidence in their ability, which can be influential to all aspects of their lives. A respect develops for fellow human beings because you cannot know another person’s ability or character as a fighter when you meet them. However, if you must fight, you have the confidence to do your best and the ability to stand up for what you believe.

Though there are many principles and application of the art that take years of study to master, a person can defend their life with one technique when it is executed correctly.

So, wether you study the art for 30 years or 3 months, the physical exercise, coordination, mental awareness, and self-defense ability are all benefits that begin to develop when you become an American Karate student.
