DUKES MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY

Grand Master Dukes

Traditional Okinawan Style of

Matsubayshi Shorin-Ryu Karate

Students come to Dukes Martial Arts Academy to study martial arts for different reason. While Shorin Ryu Karate is know around the world as one of the most fowerful forms of martial arts with its dynamic kicking and hand techniques, students easily learn at their own pace and ability level so they reach their own personal goals. We believe that we are able to continue to successfully grow our schools because our students realize that our mission is to teach self-defense while also fostering the personal development of each and every karate student. We offer programs for adults and children, each fostering the development of integrity, self-control, confidence, perseverance, respect, loyalty and self-esteem. As professional martial artists, we have dedicated our lives to the betterment of our sport - and operate this school with the even more important goal of educating children and adults to become physically and emotionally strong.

We have years of training in martial arts and experience in working with children. Our instructors are specifically trained to teach martial arts through motivation and encouragement.

Our instructors develop students' desire to improve and grow so that the motivation to excel comes from within. To us, this is truly the best form of leadership.

We are martial artists who stand tall and live strong. That's what sets us - and our students - apart from the crowd.

Grand Master Dukes

Children love learning at our academy. During every class, we establish a safe and encouraging environment. We build confidence and celebrate each and every accomplishment. Programs are high-energy, fun and interactive.

Learning martial arts is a physical endeavor, involving all muscle groups to help develop the student's inner core physical strength. Because of this, Shorin Ryu Karate and other martial arts excellent tools in obesity prevention.

But our emphasis encompasses more than just learning physical moves. It's about developing positive character and life improvement skills in each and every student.

The value-based curriculum helps focus a child's growth in becoming polite, confident and mature individuals.

Students learn to develop and improve:
Respect
Patience
Goal setting
Self-confidence
Positive attitude
Manners
Strong work ethic
Focus
Self-esteem
Leadership

Classes end with group discussions and role-playing exercises. We touch on life lessons and discuss alternate resolutions to some of the issues children face today. These issues are discussed in a non-threatening, proactive way.

Children pay close attention as we explore topics that include:

Avoiding conflicts
Dealing with bullies
Mental self-defense
Proper respect for adults
Stranger awareness
Respect for self and others
Saying "no" to drugs and peer pressure

These valuable life lessons help students understand the connection between what they learn in class and the real-world applications that make martial arts practical and insightful skills for school-age, and beyond.
