Califon Karate Academy

Karate for ages 5 to 65 and beyond!  Balancing both upper and lower body techniques, Okinawan Isshinryu Karate is geared toward close-in fighting.  In addition to empty hand kata, we explore Self Defense, Judo, JuJitsu and Kobudo.  Our classes offer not only physical techniques, but theory, history and application.

Designed for children ages 3 to 5, our Super Junior classes are taught using a philosophy of positive reinforcement to build Confidence, Discipline, Positive Attitude and Values.  Our method of training is fun, and is designed to instill these qualities in children at a young age.  About 95% of our Super Juniors promoted to our children's Isshinryu classes have continued their Martial Arts journey.  For program description and student expectations, click here.
