Shotokan Karate
The programs available at Boston North Martial Arts are for TEENS and ADULTS of all ages and abilities. Don't worry about physical shape, age or level of skill in any particular martial art. We accept the very strong, the very weak, the very talented, and the not so talented student.
Shotokan Karate:
Students will be taught basics, starting with stretching and warm-up exercises to avoid injuries, then the mechanics of blocks, punches and kicks. Once a certain number of basics are learned, students begin putting them together in prearranged combinations known as Kata (forms). The katas progress in length and intensity as students become better at combining the moves. They then begin to apply this knowledge by exchanging punches and blocks until they are free-sparring (fighting).
