Our Classes

-
Confidence – Earned through steady progress and achievement
-

Class Structure
Each session follows a purposeful and traditional format:
Junbi Undo (Preparatory Exercises)
Classes begin with structured warm-ups to prepare the body safely for training. These exercises build cardiovascular fitness, joint mobility, flexibility, balance, and core strength.
Kihon (Fundamentals)
Practice of stances, strikes, blocks, and movement patterns. Emphasis is placed on posture, alignment, breathing, and precision.
Kata (Forms)
Traditional sequences that cultivate timing, rhythm, body control, and deeper understanding of technique.
Etiquette & Discipline
Respect is practiced, not just discussed. Students learn proper bowing, dojo conduct, and how to train with humility and focus.
Youth Classes (Ages 6–12)
Youth training builds coordination, listening skills, confidence, and positive habits. Clear expectations and consistent structure help students develop perseverance and respect while enjoying active, engaging classes.
Teen & Adult Classes (Ages 13+)
Teen and adult classes provide focused, traditional training. Beginners are supported carefully, while experienced students refine technical detail, body mechanics, and mental discipline.
At Cedar Heart School of Karate-dō, classes are structured, progressive, and grounded in tradition. The goal is steady development — strong bodies, disciplined minds, and respectful character that extends beyond the dojo.
