Our programs
Adult Karate
At New England Shuhari our program is primarily geared towards adults. We are not a commercialized type dojo and we adhere to traditional standards. We are referred to as a " hidden gem" located in Coventry. We take our training seriously but do so in a comfortable , ego free environment. Adult classes offer students the ability to learn not only traditional kata (forms) that have been passed down through generations but also traditional Okinawan weapons (Kobudo). In addition our program emphasizes kata bunkai ( self defense applications within the kata). We teach practical self defense. All while learning at your own pace . Suitable for everyone.
Again we are the USA headquarters and representative for the Shobukan of Okinawa Japan headed by Hanshi Giyu Gibo 10th Dan.
Advanced Training
Our school has many students who are Black belts from other styles and have joined our family to continue their training in authentic Okinawan karate.
We embrace the collective experience of our advanced students and encourage a collaborative approach within our training. We all benefit and become better martial artists.
Traditional Forms
The foundation of Okinawan Shorin Ryu karate is based on kata. These ancient forms have been passed down from master to student for generations.
