Adult Program
Karate promotes physical fitness, flexibility, and self-defence, and also teaches character development and pacifism. Using intelligence and introspection, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and appreciation for others through training and physical conditioning. Those who practice martial arts develop a steadfast and principled philosophy.
Adult Beginners
White, Yellow and Orange Belt
Basic techniques, kata, Bunkai (self-defense), dojo etiquette, physical fitness. In addition, you will learn basic Okinawa karate terms and phrases, as well as a brief history of martial arts and specifically Meibukan Gojyu-Ryu karate. By challenging your physical and mental limitations, we can build a solid foundation for future learning.
Adult Intermediate
Green, Green Stripe, Blue, and Blue Stripe Belt
During class time, students will continue to develop basic karate skills and learn about Bunkai. This level introduces the concepts of proper breathing and the exploration of ki energy through the study of the kata Sanchin. In future curriculum development, karate theory, history, and philosophy will be given greater consideration.
Adult Advanced
Adult Advanced -Brown, Brown w/Stripe, Brown x2 Stripe, Shodan-ho and up
While the student prepares for Shodan, he or she will focus on advanced technique, kata, and kubudo. As we examine the role of karate ethics in our lives, we will explore its importance. The candidate should have a thorough understanding of the history of martial arts, the history of Okinawa Gojyu-Ryu, the history of our International Meibukan Gojyu-Karate Association, and terminology. Students at this level are challenged and tested in these classes. It is encouraged for first kyu and second kyu students to take part in the children's classes and/or assist new adult students in the dojo.

There are three main punches:
- The high (jodan)
- Middle (chudan)
- Low (gedan, gay-dan) Similar to punches, blocks provide high, middle, and low variations.
