Even if you live in a safe neighborhood, there is always a possibility that you might run into a physical altercation with another person. Don't be a victim, be prepared. We can teach you the skills necessary to defend yourself and your family. We offer a women's street survival seminar that lasts 6 weeks.
Then why not give them something fun to do? Ketsu-Ka Karate offers children of all ages a way to learn discipline, respect, focus and skills that will help them in the real world and at school.

Too many dojos try to promote you quickly so they can cash their checks, regardless if you've even made progress. Here in Varasconi School of Self Defense, belt tests are a regular part of our scheduled classes. So you'll never be charged a separate fee. We have established a belt system that will reflect your growth within Hamzy's Ketsu-Ka Karate.
