Suibukan of Indiana teaches traditional Okinawan Shorin-ryu Karate-do, Kobayashi branch. We also offer aikido, yoga, and weapons training!
Yamashita Shorin-ryu & Okinawan Shorin-ryu Karate emphasize fast, powerful, and efficient hand to hand combat techniques. Our training goals are confidence, character, and self control. Karate training includes kata (forms), sparring, and self defense. Karate has been practiced for hundreds of years, handed down from father to child, teacher to student. We encourage you to continue this proud lineage of honor, respect and discipline. Potential students are welcome to drop in for 1 or 2 free classes to evaluate our system and decide if it is right for them. Remember: we teach Karate, we don't sell belts!
Our school also offers classes in: Aikido, which focuses on locks, holds, throws, and the opponent's own movements; Kobudo, the practice of traditional Okinawan weapons; and yoga, focusing on breath control, meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures for health and relaxation.
Karate is a lifelong endeavor, and the goals of the karateka (student) should be discovery, self control, and self confidence. By learning to respect senior students and sensei (teachers), and by honoring the traditions of the dojo (school), karateka will attain patience, discipline, and inner balance. Karate is to be practiced; while advancement and learning are ongoing, mastery is always one step farther down the path.
