Adult Classes for New Students

Shotokan Karate Karate-do is the “the way of empty hand.” The style we practice is called Shotokan, a traditional Japanese martial art popularized by Gichin Funkakoshi (1868-1957). Funakoshi emphasized karate-do as a path toward selfimprovement and development of spirit and character, rather than only a physical endeavor. Shoto was Funakoshi's pen name for his poetry, while Shotokan was the name of the hall where "Shoto" trained his students.

6-Week Karate Intro (AGES 15+) Karate offers a complete mind/body workout that develops physical strength and mental discipline. Our qualified instructors teach traditional Japanese Shotokan Karate. Instruction includes stretching, basic techniques (stances, punches, kicks, blocks), forms, sparring, and self-defense.

Family Classes

Enso offers a number of “Family” classes in which adults and youth train together. This is a great opportunity for parents and children to learn and enjoy karate in the same class. Options for Family classes are listed below. Students from the same household who are enrolled concurrently can each take a family discount of $10 off the session tuition.

College Students

College students are welcome in Adult classes and benefit from a discounted tuition rate. For the college rate, students must attach copy of current schedule or proof of full-time student status to registration form. Please indicate college/university name, program, expected graduation date, and full-time/part-time status.

Shotokan karate is known for its deep, strong stances and powerful techniques. Training focuses equally on the three elements of traditional karate: kihon (basic techniques), kata (forms or formal exercises), and kumite (sparring).

Intro Sessions for new adult karate students are 6 weeks long. After completing the Intro Session, continuing students enroll in 12-week sessions (with the option of taking two classes per week or unlimited classes). Additional class days/times are available after completing the 6-week Intro Session. Program

What does “Enso” mean?

Private and Semi-Private Sessions can be scheduled with Enso instructors by appointment. Private karate sessions allow for individualized training as well as extended time for feedback and student questions.

Enso is a Japanese word signifying “circle”. For us, the enso represents our commitment to personal growth by providing quality programs that emphasizes discipline, dedicated practice, and balance of body, mind, and spirit.
