Our highest qualities—courtesy, discipline, self control, generosity, kindness, perseverance—are practiced on our dojo floor every day.
We’ve made it easy for you to fully experience this challenging and excellent practice with two generous, no-obligation introductory specials. Both include a full month of karate classes, a $70 uniform, and an official karate belt. Start with a free week to make sure we're right for you.
ADULT SHOTOKAN
Serious adult students are welcome to attend classes designed specifically for them. By meeting the challenges of the study of Shotokan, our adult students have achieved levels of fitness, wellness, and self reliance that they couldn't have imagined previously. Beginning students are treated with respect: classes are designed to allow beginners to feel welcome and able to participate fully.
OUR CURRICULA
KIDS SHOTOKAN
Ages 11-14
Children entering Shotokan training are exposed to a traditional martial art practiced in a consistent way worldwide for generations. Students are examined by high ranking instructors and achieve lifetime, world-respected ranking through the International Shotokan Karate Federation. While adhering to the tenets of the ISKF, we make Karate training fun and age-appropriate.
SHOTO KIDS
Ages 9-11
Shoto Kids is our program that introduces children to the rigors of Shotokan training in a developmentally appropriate way. Here they begin to refine their techniques, undergo structured sparring drills, discover kata, and learn proper Japanese terminology.
NINJA CLASSES
Two Sections: Ages 3-5 and 6-8
There’s nothing in the world more adorable than our Ninjas Classes! Trained instructors teaching our developmentally appropriate, life skills-based curriculum challenge each child at her or his specific level of competence. Parents are invited to remain and watch their Karate Kids thrive through Discipline, Self-Control, Focus, Coordination, and other weekly topics.
FREE WEEK
Attend a couple of classes and learn what training at Granite Forest Dojo is all about. We’ll only ask that you fill out a waiver and wear comfortable clothes. You’ll be under no obligation, and you’ll get no hard-sell.
If you enjoy yourself, you’ll still be welcome to take advantage of our generous, no-obligation, Special Introductory Offer for a full month, a uniform, and more.
