Karate is an ancient fighting art that has evolved over the years to include many variations and techniques. Karate translates into “Kara (empty) Te (hand)", which indicates that the techniques require the use of only the human body as a weapon. “The martial arts, if properly taught, are a balanced system of spiritual discipline, physical education, self-defense and competitive sport."

At Bill Holland’s Kenwayoshin Ryu Karate, Jiu Jitsu and Kobudo we teach the art of Kenwayoshin Ryu Karate, which is a blended style derived from four of the major styles of Japanese and Korean karate. They are Okinawa Kenpo Karate, Wado Ryu Karate, Shintoyoshin Ryu Jiu Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do. Training in this art is divided between hand, foot, escape and throwing techniques for self-defense. Emphasis is placed in kata (forms), basic techniques and sparring.

Jiu Jitsu is translated as the gentle art of self-defense. This Japanese self-defense system is designed to neutralize attacks by applying pressure on the body's meridians to cause intense but non-damaging pain to the aggressor. The aim of Jiu Jitsu techniques is to neutralize, control, and discourage an attacker with techniques that employ minimal strength yet generate maximum efficiency. * This is an excellent self-defense system for women.*

Kobudo, which means “ancient martial ways”, refers to the ancient weapons system of Okinawa. Use of weapons such as the Nunchaku, Bo, tonfa, cane, katana and Sai is taught. Weapons training is reserved for advanced students.

Children's Classes are devoted to the development of young minds and bodies. The instructor’s stress that each child is to progress at his or her own individual rate. A disciplined class is the key to developing the confidence, self-assurance and independence that each child needs. Training at Bill Holland’s Kenwayoshin Ryu Karate, Jiu Jitsu and Kobudo can be an exciting and enjoyable activity for the entire family.

Adult Classes concentrate on improving your total fitness level. The self-defense training prepares you for the worst of the possible situations, with which you might be confronted, while the mental conditioning can be used to confront everyday pressures of life.

At Bill Holland's Kenwayoshin Ryu Karate, Jiu Jitsu and Kobudo we want you to be sure that we are what you are looking for in the martial arts before you spend one red cent, so we offer you a two week trial period to see if we are for you. If we meet your approval, you will be fitted with your required uniform (Gi) and training equipment.
