Programs:
Our karate program is the perfect way to work out both your body and mind for a happy and balanced life. While the physical aspects of our program will increase our ability to focus at work and help you relax at the end of the day. On top of all this the self-defense techniques you learn could very well save your life.
Shihan Starr is very enthusiastic about the future of Starr’s Black Belt Academy. With all the years of study and training in the martial arts, Shihan Starr has organized a traditional karate system that is offered for men, women and children. Our school is specifically designed for the average person with no experience to learn practical self-defense that works in nearly any situation, against any aggressor.
Shihan Starr takes his teaching very seriously and takes great pride and respect in all his students. Shihan treats all his students as equals and does not single anyone out. He expects his students to try hard and to be the best they can be, while they have a lot of fun in each class. Students learn basic blocking, punching, kicking and stretching. Students learn to focus and control by punching and kicking foam pads and kicking bags. Students learn to work with partners, learning distance, balance and control. Shihan will work on tumbling, and rolling properly with safey on the mats. Shihan works on different drills each week with students learning team work and good sportsmanship which students really enjoy.
Starr's Black Belt Academy is a karate program for all ages. The program is a perfect way to workout both your body and mind for a happy and balanced life. While the physical aspects of our program will increase your energy, flexibility and health, the mental side will increase your ability to focus at school and relax at the end of the day.
