Judo, translated as "the gentle way" is a grappling art based on movements that allow a person to off balance an opponent and take advantage of that off balance to execute throws or takedowns. Pins, chokes, and armbars are all used in judo to subdue and control an agressor.

The kids Judo classes focus on teaching the students balance, agility, and discipline while having fun.  Children may start Judo as young as age 5 (4 with the instructors approval).  Students start in the beginner classes and may progress to the advanced class over time, earning belt rank, developing Judo skills, and engaging in physical activity.  See our schedule for times!  As with any of the classes, please feel free to stop by and observe.

This is authentic, original, and pure form from Okinawa, Japan called Kou Bu Ryu which has also been called Pwang Gai Noon Ryu.

Kou Bu Ryu - meaning "Kinjo's Stop-Fighting Style" - maintains the traditional values and techniques developed centuries ago in China. A strong body, disciplined mind, and healthy lifestyle combine synergistically to enhance every aspect of a person's life. In fact, Kou Bu Ryu Karate stresses self-improvement both inside and outside the dojo. Practitioners of Kou Bu Ryu can enjoy the rare opportunity to improve their health, strengthen their spirit and carry on this ancient martial art.

We have been offering kids Karate classes for over 10 years.  Koburyu Karate focuses on discipline of mind and body and these ideals are taught to our students.  Students will focus on balance, movement, and discipline as they learn Koburyu Karate at Southside Dojo.

Koburyu Karate Instructors: Wayne Kroll - Janel Ceglarek
