Karate-Do → DO means “the way”.  Meaning to develop in all aspects of your life, not just physically.  It is a positive attitude toward challenges, regardless of their source.  Karate-Do is non-competitive martial arts training for ALL ages that is mentally, physically, and emotionally rewarding exercise. Work toward improving your balance and motor functions.

Participants will learn Goju-Ryu karate, as well as Japanese and Okinawan culture.  Emphasis is on self-improvement and confidence, not competition.  At the end of every class, a few minutes will be taken to do a project related to culture.  Fee is $35 per month, payable to Emerald Isle Parks and Recreation (EIPR) the FIRST class of each month.  Please give all payments to Laura Lee Davis, Program Supervisor.  Gi is not required, but encouraged.  Please dress comfortably for each class.  To register, call Laura Lee Davis at 252- 354-6350 or email at ldavis@emeraldisle-nc.org.
