Adult Karate Classes

The ability to defend yourself, and/or your family and friends in virtually every type of threatening situation is probably the greatest benefit of studying Okinawa Kenpo Karate.  By observing or participating in just one of Master Higa's classes or workshops, it will become apparent that his classes are nothing like what is offered at other Karate Schools.  

Master Higa Works On Details With Students
In Private One-on-One Lessons.

If you are interested in getting a black belt in two or three years, this is not the school for you.  In fact, we can tell you where you can buy a black belt in 10 minutes, if that is what matters to you.  Most black belts from other schools can't keep up with our green belts.  When you earn a belt from this school, it is really worth something.  Just check out our testing requirements and compare them with other schools.

Our adult programs are a great way to relieve stress, get and stay in shape, and learn valuable self defense skills that can really save your life. Our programs blend a great physical workout with practical real-life self defense techniques, and are ideal for both men and women! 

Karate training not only builds Self Defense skills, but also builds character, spirit and respect.  Our core values are reflected in the Dojo Kun (School Code).  

You Will Learn:

  • Relieve tension
  • Increase stamina
  • Lose weight
  • Reduce stress
  • Gain confidence
  • Improve coordination

At Master Higa's Okinawa Kenpo Karate School, there are three types of adult  classes:

  • Private Classes - Taught by Master Higa in a One on One setting by appointment.  If you wish to train with a friend, this can also be arranged. These classes cost only $40 per lesson and No Contract is required.
