At the M.B.C. School of Karate, the style we teach is Isshin-ryu. Isshin-ryu is an Okinawan martial art developed in 1954 by Tatsuo Shimabuku.
Our classes are structured in a traditional manner. Students are taught Kata (pre-arranged forms), sparring, self-defense, body conditioning and two-man drills. Our school emphasis is toward street applications. However, the traditional aspects of Karate are also taught, such as self-confidence, respect and physical fitness.
