All Ages Learning from Each Other

Shuri Ryu Karate and Modern Arnis classes for women (self-identified) and girls are currently offered twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays. Designed for students of all levels of ability and at all ranks, classes teach principles and techniques of Shuri-ryu karate, Modern Arnis, and self-defense. Training covers the basics of stances, blocks, strikes and kicks, as well as practice of short forms, kata, and a variety of sparring and self-protection techniques. Students discover the power of their bodies and their voices, cultivate collaborative and leadership skills, and improve their physical condition through classes that combine continuous movement with skilled instruction. Students enjoy group activities and individualized attention in a safe, supportive and fun environment. Students of all ages earn belt promotions through regular class participation and mastery of rank-specific skills.

Principles of Empowerment Self Defense are woven into martial arts training at The Leopard School. Classes with a specific self defense focus are offered by arrangement.
