Karate is something that takes a lifetime to master: it is a discipline that keeps teaching and developing an individual forever. Above all, Karate should be viewed not so much as a sport, but as a way of thinking, learning, and behaving: Karate is a way of life. Shukokai is derived from one of the original styles of Karate, Shito Ryu, with roots that date back over three hundred years to Okinawa. Using Shito Ryu as a foundation for his style, Sensei Kimura spent the last forty years of his life developing a technique that was second to none, and he perfected the ability to attack with devastating power and speed. Students of Kimura Shukokai learn how to use the biggest muscles of the body to generate this power and speed, and when the technique is mastered, they will be able to overcome their opponents with what Sensei Kimura referred to as “One hit, one kill.” Along with this tremendous ability comes the responsibility of control: students must practice with control in mind, and safety is paramount in the practice, both in and out of the dojo.

Into the Swim classes are customized to the needs and pace of every student. When you call our office we will ask you to describe the student's swimming skill level. The student will be placed according to your description and in a time slot that is convenient for you. Our small class size allows the students plenty of individual instruction while still participating in a group atmosphere which tends to relax students. Each class is well-matched so that every student will need similar instruction throughout the class period. The director on duty will monitor and make updates on the student's progress throughout the quarter.
