What We Do
Karate Classes
At M.A.K.E, we are dedicated to the philosophy of traditional karate, focusing on "Old Style" teachings. Our approach emphasizes the mastery of empty-hand and feet techniques for self-defense and the protection of others through the practice of kata.
Grandmaster Gary Music describes it as "An old approach to self-defense," reflecting the timeless wisdom embedded in our training methods.
Self-Protection Seminars
Effective self-protection begins with heightened awareness and vigilance. Understanding your surroundings and being attuned to potential threats are fundamental aspects of our training.
As Sun Tzu aptly stated in Chapter 8, "Do not rely on their not attacking. Rely on what we await them with," highlighting the importance of proactive preparedness.
Functional Strength Training
We believe that everyone deserves to cultivate a strong mind and body, irrespective of their abilities or limitations. Our mission is to offer inclusive access to functional strength training and mobility exercises for individuals from all walks of life.
