WHAT IS 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.
