Takoma Park Karate Club offers training in Isshin-Ryū karate, a style established by Tatsuo Shimabuku in 1956. This unique form of karate combines elements from Goju-Ryū and Shorin-Ryū, emphasizing a vertical fist for punches and quick snapping techniques. The dojo focuses on developing self-confidence, leadership skills, self-defense abilities, discipline, and physical fitness through structured classes. Open to adults aged 16 and up, no prior experience is necessary to join. The training process is designed to guide students towards achieving a black belt in a supportive environment.
