As a teacher and practitioner of karate since 1982, the purpose of this group is to offer the opportunity for one to engage oneself in Karatedo (empty-handed way) or martial arts; i.e., a way of life.

In this kickboxing group, one will learn respect, patience, appreciation, and enhance one's life via the path of The Middle Way; i.e., balance.

Get prepared to sweat, focus, and change one's metabolism by learning to punch and kick correctly. Very intense and thorough class. Pad work, focus mitts, calisthenics, plyo-metrics, and cardio are stressed.

Any level welcome, especially beginners. Experience or no-experience is fine, because class will reflect or be tailored to the members or Deshis (disciples). Moreover, one will be pushed, one's psyche will change for the better, and one will improve oneself through one's dedication to one's craft.

Please come join us and "Just Sweat" - i.e., Just Train!!!

Membership Rules

Membership in NYC Kihon Karate (Basic Karate) Meetup Group is considered a privilege and the organizer/sensei expects all members to meet and adhere to certain protocols of the aforesaid:


• If you cannot make an event, please change your "RSVP" 'No’, so that others may attend and so I will have an accurate number of attendees.
• Also "RSVP" your spot as EARLY as possible and PLEASE "donate" the necessary funds no later than 3 days prior to the class, so I can secure the venue, thank you!
• If you cannot "RSVP" because the system will not allow you, you can always contact me and I will respond promptly for potential late arrivals to a group class; I do not want to impede someone desiring to train.
• There is NO toleration of fighting (fisticuffs) or harassment of ANY kind ADMISSIBLE.
• Further, I expect the deshis/members to be friendly, respectful, courteous, and supportive to their fellow deshis/members, as well as welcoming new deshis/members.
• Violation of these rules is grounds for permanent dismissal from the group. However, I have never had this problem and DO NOT expect it to manifest or surface.
• Moreover, this membership is for actual people, and NOT for businesses to join and to post events to our members; i.e., NO SOLICITATIONS of ANY KIND are permitted.
• Additionally, there is NO SPARRING / FREE FIGHTING in this class; therefore, if that is what one desires, please look elsewhere, thank you.

What you need

 

Possess a positive attitude, wear comfortable clothing that you can sweat into, and drink plenty of water to hydrate yourself before taking class. One caveat, try to avoid caffeine, such as cafe or tea prior to training, as this will dehydrate you, which leads to cramping, headaches, dizziness, and vertigo.


Bring water, a towel, and a positive attitude.

Osu!
