Consistent participation in our program leads to success in other areas of life. Positive attitudes are created, self-discipline develops, responsibility increases, and the ability to be persistent allows success. Our students gain focus, respect, and enthusiasm. Our program teaches skills to protect oneself and the confidence to do so. Our traditional martial arts program develops MIND-BODY-SPIRIT. Master Odo combined his karate with kobudo or weaponry many years ago in order to teach a complete kobujitsu system in the spirit of the samurai. If it didn’t work, there was nobody left to pass it on. Traditional martial arts were developed strictly for self defense thus enhancing their effectiveness. We maintain a traditional karate and weapons system with origins dating back more than 2,000 years. Our style of karate here at East Coast Karate is called Ryukyu Hon Kenpo Kobujutsu as taught by Grand Master Seikichi Odo of Okinawa.
