Karate, which means "empty hand" in Japanese, is a science of unarmed self-defense and counterattack. Rather than using a weapon, the person using Karate employs parts of the body (the hand, fist, finger, elbow or foot) to ward off assault and to injure the attacker by striking them with a severe blow to a vulnerable area or weak spot.
Students practicing Karate will learn confidence, self discipline, goals setting and self defense. Karate classes are open to both adults and children (ages 6+). Families are allowed and actually encouraged to train together as well. Every student will start as a beginner with a white belt in Karate and then work their way through the belt ranks.

Karate began in India in 520 A.D. when Bodhidharma traveled to China and taught the monks exercises at the Shaolin Szu Temple. Soon these exercises spread across China to Okinawa. In 1477, the Sho Dynasty of Okinawa took away all weapons from the people. Karate, which means "empty hand, " became more popular.

It is easy and pleasant to work on an ambition when all appears to be going your way, you will feel confident and optimistic about the outcome. When you meet obstacles, your indomitable spirit will determine your success.

My three children and I all practice karate at this dojo with Sensei Gensheimer. This program instills confidence, self-discipline, self-awareness, and respect within the karate practice. What we also love, is the community that is built with supporting one another through their journey in karate. Each child (and adult) moves at their own pace, and Sensei Gensheimer and all of the teachers that work under her guidance are patient and kind with each individual and helps them to achieve their goals. No matter what age, what ability level, everyone is able to participate and feel great about their

My daughter has been with Gensheimer Martial Arts for the past 10 years, since the age of 6. Jeanie and the other Senseis are fantastic, and have instilled confidence, strength, and leadership into her. The program teaches discipline, respect, and courtesy in a fun environment. You could not find a better program for kids or adults.

My son, daughter, and I have all been members of Sensei Gensheimer's dojo for over a year now and we love it! Adults and kids can easily take the same class and the teaching is differentiated extremely well so that all levels and ages get to lear at their own levels. Sensei Gensheimer and her teachers are also fantastic with kids. It's been a great experience and I can't recommend it highly enough.
