People ask me what makes this a Christian karate school. I usually reply," We get together punch and kick each other, give everyone a hug and go home." It is really much more than that. I was interested in martial arts for many years before I started training but I didn't want to be taught with the influence of the eastern religions. When I discovered I was on staff at a church with a Christian black belt I began training with him. You do not have to be a Christian to join our group but you do need to respect our beliefs and display Christlike character. I hope to do more in the future to make our training distinctly Christian and students who do not display sound moral character will not advance in rank. Our school teaches American Open-Style Karate as our primary style but we are eclectic in our study and training as we are convinced of the advantage of mixed martial arts training. As a result we train in other styles and seek to develop techniques that would be beneficial to our students. Our Katas are primarily Chito-Ryu. We are researching additional katas and weapons to include in our training. In addition we teach self-defense techniques along with our regular curriculum. We offer age specific classes as well as family classes. We train students starting at four years old. For those of you who think you are too busy to study martial arts our Brooksville school offers one or two day per week classes and our Zephyrhills school is two days per week. Saturday workshops are available. We are a Florida based school currently operating in Hernando and Pasco Counties. We have locations in Brooksville and Zephyrhills and are looking to expand to other areas. We are also looking for other Christian Black Belts to join us in our mission. If you are interested in Spring Hill, Dade City or Groveland area classes please email me with your area of interest. For those with rank in another style of Martial Arts we recognize your rank and allow you to train at an accelerated rate until you reach the same rank in our style. ********************************************************************************* Notice: Ladies Self defense class December 5th from 9:30am - noon at Chancey Road Christian Church. $20.00 or repeating students $10.00. email or call to sign up now.

| The martial arts bring a vast array of benefits to almost anyone who practices them. There are many physical, social and learning deficiencies that can be helped or overcome by training in the martial arts. Young children can benefit from increased motor skills, balance and focus. Older children gain increased confidence and self-control. While those of us, like myself, who have seen a few birthdays come and go can benefit from the increased activity, and greater flexibility ( use it or lose it). I challenge you to make a positive lifestyle choice and join us for some great fellowship and training. |
