Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is Karate?

Karate is a method of unarmed self-defense which was developed on the island of Okinawa. The term Kara-te literally means “empty hand.” The benefits of karate training extend far beyond self-defense; it is also a method for personal development as well. Karate practitioners develop character through training and learn a great deal about themselves as a person. Karate is a lifelong process.

Who Can Learn Karate?

Karate is for everyone, regardless of age or physical condition. Conditioning and stamina will improve through training. The benefits of training are cumulative so the beginning student should be prepared to practice a minimum of two or three days per week. Advanced students can practice more, however should be careful to avoid overtraining. Karate training is a lifelong endeavor; it cannot be learned in one day. Pace yourself.

What Will I Need To Practice?

Students are required to members of the ISKF, have a clean, white uniform, or karate-gi, with an ISKF patch on the left breast area. Men are encouraged to wear a supporter and/or cup; women a white sports bra or tee-shirt underneath. This all the equipment you will need to practice. Additional items for the future include sparring gloves and a mouthpiece. A bag to carry your equipment. These items are available for purchase at Shotokan Taka Ryu, LLC.

When Can I Start?

You can begin your training after you sign the waiver forms, pay your dues and have your uniform. Be on time or, even early, to class. It is disrespectful to come late to class. If you are late, you must bow and be recognized before being allowed to enter. Do not embarrass yourself further by disrupting the class in progress. Once you begin the class, you are expected to give your best effort. If you need to leave early, you must let your instructor know in advance.
