Hokushin Shito Ryu (Japan Karate-Do) classes taught by Sensei Raoul Flaviano for Children and Adults by appointment only
Sensei Flaviano has direct ties to Soke Kenzo Mabuni, the heir of the founder of Hokushin Shito Ryu. He trained under both Soke Mabuni & Hanshi Minobu Miki. His training is authentic, in a disciplined yet fun environment.
BENEFITS OF AUTHENTIC KARATE-DO TRAINING :
• Self Defense - The ultimate goal of Japanese Karate is self-defense. The techniques are designed to teach street survival against multiple opponents; the sports aspect is only one clement of the art.
• Self Esteem - Confidence is raised as an individual progresses and achieves goals: attaining higher rankings and participating in tournament competition.
• Stress Reduction - Regular exercise and meditation unifies mind and body to help reduce stress.
• Physical Fitness - Karate-Do is an excellent aerobic activity and requires exercises to strengthen muscles and increase overall flexibility.
• Emphasis on Respect and Ethics- Karate-Do practitioners must always conduct themselves with honor and discipline. We continually stress the importance of ethical behavior to our students (this is especially beneficial for children).
