for the younger students. It is important to us that each student be able to get individualized attention so they may reach
their maximum potential. To see our class schedule, click here.

What We Teach
In its broad sense, Budo means "martial way". At Ichibankarate,
we strive to teach our students all aspects of one type of Budo, karate-do, or "Empty Hand Way". This includes not only the
more commonly recognized techniques of blocks, punches and kicks, but also falling, tumbling, and jumping. Central to all
the techniques is Self Defense. We also teach releases from grabs, breaking techniques and pressure points. Our system teaches
all students, no matter their age or skill level, to be able to defend themselves.
The "do" or "way" part of karate-do also plays a critical role
in all aspects of our teaching. The "do" refers to the character building features of the Martial
Arts: self confidence, empathy, commitment and humility. We seek to inspire every student to learn and grow in their own way
so they may reach their maximum potential in mind, body and spirit.

In addition to weapons training, Ichibankarate also custom builds
Eku. We will soon be offering on-line ordering to anyone interested in purchasing a custom-made eku. We make all our
eku to competition specifications. If you are interested in ordering one, please email
