About me

Sensei David Anderson is a Fifth degree blackbelt and founder of this unique blend of traditional Goju - ryu karate and street self - defense.Karate (pronounced Kara-teh) literally means "empty hand." It is the Japanese art of weaponless self defense. It is an efficient and elegant system of hand to hand combat that wastes no energy or motion. This, in itself, is reason to learn. But, there is so much more. . .Besides the aerobic and strength training benefits karate provides, it also strengthens the mind and the character. It is meditation through action. Anyone can lock themselves in a dark, quiet room and quiet their mind (at least they should). But, to remain in a state of focus and calm in an environment of rapidly changing motion - that is karate. To show courtesy and respect to all, without compromising one's own worth - that too is karate.
