Traditional Okinawan Karate is a fun, community-oriented martial arts school serving serving Pleasant Valley, LaGrange, Poughkeepsie, LaGrangeville, Millbrook, Hyde Park and Wappingers Falls, N.Y. and more since 2010.
 Our school teaches Isshin Ryu Karate, a traditional Okinawan martial arts style. Our emphasis is on learning, having fun and getting fit. Students learn traditional kata, self-defense techniques and karate fundamentals.
 We also teach many grappling, throwing and joint techniques from Judo, Aikido and Jujitsu. Higher-ranking students also attend advanced Kobudo - or weapons classes - at no additional charge.
 In addition to regular classes, Traditional Okinawan Karate students can attend an adult retreat and regular seminars with internationally-known instructors.
We also do community outreach including anti-bullying talks at schools, lessons at town day camps, private lessons, corporate events and women's self-defense seminars.
Through outreach we share the many life lessons found in the study of martial arts with the community.
We have a flexible schedule with classes six days a week that students attend as often as they like.
