We provide training in the ways of Okinawan Isshin Ryu Karate. Our program is designed to guide you toward self-improvement, both physically and mentally. Everyone begins martial arts training with different strengths and weaknesses, but no matter what you bring, it's what you take from the dojo that is yours. Our goal is to help you improve from wherever you start. In class you will work one-on-one, and in groups. Often our students will work with a partner on drills. When teaching new skills, more experienced students will be paired with beginners. Our classes are small allowing for lots of personal attention from Sensei Mario. No experience, or level of ability is required. Everyone starts as a white belt (pure beginner), and no one is expected to work beyond their own level. Every advanced student and every black belt was a white belt once. The only difference between a sensei and a white belt is time spent training in the dojo (karate school). The only competition is with yourself. If you have any questions, or would like to watch, or try a class please call. Phone: Call Mario at 585-520-1861. Classes are held at: Renaissance Martial Arts at 34 Elton Str. Rochester NY 14607.
