Our Karate Programs

Uechi-ryu karate can be learned and enjoyed by people of all ages!  Sensei Enrie Harriman of Hartford CT continues to practice Uechi-ryu at the age of 83!  There are very minimal physical fitness requirements needed to begin but people generally experience a huge increase in their physical fitness over a relatively short period of time including weight loss and increased flexibility! There is no race. Everyone progresses at his or her own pace.  And all of this occurs in a fun, respectful, collegial friendly setting!

*Dragons - 3-5 year old karate-ka!

The Fast Dragons program is geared for young beginners of the martial art.  The program focuses on basic karate skills of blocking, punching and kicking.  These skills are taught in an environment of patience and positive reinforcement.  Learning these skills are reinforced through application of games and other fun activities.  Non-physical skills that are continuous engendered are respect, self-control and focus/concentration/discipline.

Tigers - 6-9 year-olds

The Tiger program brings our young people into the true, traditional Uechi-ryu karate-do.

In addition to the basics of blocking, punching and kicking, students begin to learn the underlying system of Uechi-ryu, which includes studying kata, and kumite.  Skills are practiced, often in the form of drills and games. The overarching concepts of respect, self-control and focus are given even greater importance at this stage.

Cranes—10 years and up

The steps taken in our Tiger program are taken further with the Cranes.  Greater understanding of the principles of kata are taught and expected among these students.  Application of Uechi-ryu principles are practiced with one another is a safe controlled environment!  Respect, focus and self-control are expected!

Adults

The traditional Uechi-ryu karate-do is taught to young and older adults alike in these classes.  The focus is on developing technique, and accurate implementation against body targets.  Application against opponenets is practiced in a safe controlled environment. Karate is supplemented with traditional Okinawan Kobudo (weapons) of bo (staff), sai, and tonfa.
