ABOUT OUR KARATE SCHOOLS
Our school is built on the concept of "Training Smart from the Start." To quote Hanshi Phil Little, Grand Master Instructor of Isshinryu and inheritor of the Harold Long Lineage: “Regardless of your age, and physical limitations, attention is placed on giving you the most effective foundational skills for personal safety training. Isshinryu Karate, a martial art form that maximizes the efficiency of movements both hard and soft with fast and flowing tempo, provides the ideal medium for physical, mental and spiritual health. It’s a great way to get in shape while learning this invaluable life-saving protection system that is easy to learn and put into action.” As a lifetime member of the United States Isshinryu Karate Association and student of Hanshi Phil Little, training in my school is training smart from the start.
