Karate @ The Solebury Club

The word karate-do is made up of three Japanese characters. Their literal meaning is “Way of the Empty Hands.” Karate is a martial art of empty handed self-defense; students learn to use unarmed body parts, such as hands and feet, to ward off attackers!

The Solebury Club Karate program is dedicated to developing healthy bodies, sound minds, and self-esteem balanced with a deep respect for others.

We emphasize the nurturing of a well-rounded individual, at home, at work, in school,
or in the dojo. We directly support the
growth of each student through a variety of classes, progressive challenges, individualized instruction, and opportunities to compete
and interact with other martial arts students.

“The world of karate cannot be compared to any other sport or physical exercise. Karate, developing the whole body and mind, can be experienced by anyone. Since karate offers self-defense, character development, physical exercise, a historical art and a sport, anyone of any age and any fitness level can train in the way of karate.”
