The kids' class is for students from ages 5-10 of any and all ability levels. This is a great class with a wonderful group of kids from various towns. The class has truly become a family over the past few years and we'd love to have you join. These classes are taught by Sensei O (pictured above on the left) and Sensei Tammy (pictured above on the right)
The teen/adult class is for students ages 8 and up who want to commit to serious study of Shobayashi-Ryu. This class is currently a tight knit group truly committed to discovering the mysteries of traditional karate, learning life protection, and living a healthy lifestyle. We have some parent/child pairs in the class, students from the kids class looking for a more serious class, and adults who have either been training for years or have just taken up karate. These classes are taught by Sensei Opalenik (Pictured on the far left) and Sensei Pytel (pictured second in from the right).
Coming November 1, 2013 the old Cheshire Monday evening class will be moving to Southington. The time will be the same. Mondays from 6:30-7:30. This class is all ages, but there is a rank requirement. You must be at least a white belt with five stripes or higher (i.e. everyone has sparring gear and everyone knows at least one kata). These classes will be designed to be more kata/sparing oriented. This class will be taught by Sensei O.
