Classes & Programs -- Isshin-Ryu Karate Program The Karate Creed I come to you with only Karate - Empty Hands. I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles, or my honor: should it be a matter of life and death, right or wrong, then here are my weapons, Karate -- My Empty Hands. - Ed Parker Isshin-Ryu Karate is a practical style of self defense, emphasizing natural stances and movements for defense in street or realistic situations. You will learn basic blocks, strikes, kicks, escapes, etc. and katas along with Bunkai. Kata, prearranged forms, are used as instruments in training to help you, the student, discover the power and practical applications that can be derived from techniques in the katas. Kata training emphasizes proper form, develops focus and coordination, and Bunkai will allow you to find the deeper meaning in the katas.
