What Is Kinetic Karate?
Kinetic Karate begins with the kinetic chain. The kinetic chain is the interrelation of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems. Our nerves, muscles, and joints work together to create human movement.
Kinetic Karate generates movement that creates energy in our muscles and joints. The objective of a dynamic, energetic, and safe karate program is to increase flexibility, mobility, balance, coordination, strength, and power with the added benefit of cognitive improvement through concentration and repetition of techniques.

Participants’ Comments:
“Kinetic Karate is filled with laughter, fun, and a workout that engages every muscle. The stretching and drills cured my leg cramps and improved the pain and movement in my joints. One example is how much easier I can look over my shoulder when driving.” —Deena B.
“I started Kinetic Karate to learn something new, challenging, and different from ordinary exercise classes. I am now constantly aware of how to move my body safely while doing household tasks or outside gardening. It has become second nature to me. I am proud of what I have learned and so glad I stayed with it when I thought it would be too difficult at my 80+ age.” —Sue S.
