Classes
Japan Karate-Do Genbu-Kai of Florida teaches discipline and control, not only for the purpose of improving one's self awareness/defense knowledge, but also emphasizes the use of these skills in one's daily life activities. Our programs help build character in young individuals while improving focus and concentration; instills courage in women and respect in men; and in addition to maintaining a healthy physical shape and condition; it also is an excellent way of relieving stress from one's daily life, no matter the age, while enhancing our intellectual state and overall well being.
Junior Classes
(Ages 7 - 12)
We must make it clear that in our junior classes (boys and girls combined), our overall purpose is to build character through discipline and self-confidence. Therefore, many of the Karate techniques deemed dangerous are not taught in this class. The young people are instructed to defend against punches, holds, and grabs. But, foremost, they are instructed in good attitude and manners. Frankly, the first weeks are difficult but enjoyable for the youngsters. Most parents notice a difference in poise, agility and confidence after a short time has been spent in training. Hundreds upon hundreds have taken the course and in almost every instance their attitude, respect and social life has been enhanced. The junior course is a combination of Karate, Aiki-Do and Judo.
Adult Classes
(Ages 13 and over)
Most everyone, from high school and over, is assigned to the adult class. Classes are held at least five times a week and members may attend as often as they desire. The first three months beginners may go one hour per day. Thereafter, they may attend advanced training, as well. How fast you learn is up to you. But, generally speaking, three months is a basic course. Many ladies are now enjoying this training.
