Your trial month will introduce you to all the essentials of training karate in the Ueshiro Shorin-Ryu tradition. You’ll learn some Japanese, some old-fashioned, Okiwanan dojo etiquette, how to tie your belt, and a handful of basic techniques, including blocks, locks, and strikes, and some of the broad, philosophical underpinnings of the art. If you’re interested, you can also receive basic guidance in zazen meditation and developing a practice of your own.
