NOVA SHOTOKAN KARATE-DO
A New Approach to Karate​

Vision:

Create an organization that focuses on true spirit of Karate-Do 

Focus on character and personal development through physical training

Understanding that your ability is your rank, not the color of your belt

​Emphasis on self defense, and sports aspect of karate-do

A total fitness program for a healthier and happier you ​

​​

Training Program:

Individuals (Children and Adults) are required to practice at least twice a week.  Every 3 months we will conduct a test to gauge the level of proficiency in student's techniques and self defense ability.

 

Karate is a combat sport, and even though it will take a life time to master it, we believe there must be an urgency in learning how one must learn to defend himself from day one.  So we emphasize on fighting techniques and fighting practices from day one. 

​

 Each practice session consists of :​

- Warm up: 5 minutes

-Basics and combination techniques: 15 minutes

-Forms (Kata): 15 minutes

-Sparring (Kumite): 25 minutes

 

Ranking system is as follows:

White belt (0-3 months of practice)

Yellow belt (3-6 months of practice)

Green belt (6-9 months of practice)

Purple belt (9-12 months of practice)

Brown belt (12-18 months of practice)

Black belt (Dan 1): Eligible for test after at least 18 months of training.  ​​
