Gi Rei Kan Karate
About
We teach Okinawan Goju Ryu Kata, Bunkai and Kiso Kumite, along with some weapons. We're not all just about work, but everything we do is designed in some way to further your skills in Karate, whether you know it or not! Karate is a great way to improve your physical fitness as well develop a stronger mind by continuing to push yourself to learn new skills. Great for adults who love to learn, want to stay in shape, like to be challenged, want to find a way to calm their minds and a way forget the world for a while. Also great for children ages 7 and up who want to develop positive life-long habits.
Leddy-Sensei has been training over 20 years, Susan-Sensei for 16.

Teachings others to look out for themselves, to find themselves and to have fun is very rewarding. It's the journey, not the destination!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Students work as hard as they want to. Not feeling so hot today? Work the best you can. Feeling bullet proof? Bring it on! YOU are the one who decides how fast you progress.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Leddy-Sensei and I have trained together and with others for over a combined 40 years. He ranks as a 5th level black belt, I am a third level. 'Nuff said.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Prices and times vary by season. Leave a message and we will get back with you.
What types of students have you worked with?
We have worked with both male and female students, as young as 4 and over 50. Students with ADHD, ADD, shy students, overly brash students, all have been taught here.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Sparring is always fun! Sensei and I occasionally forget that it's supposed to be "light sparring" and get a bit carried away!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look at our dojo. Come try out a class, or just watch. Ask questions. Tell us what you are looking for and see if we are what you want.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What do you want to get out of martial arts?
How much are you willing to physically invest in it?
Is the dojo clean, well ordered and in a location and I can get to?
If visiting during a class, are students participating or just "there?"
Are you willing to work with all ages? Some dojos do not separate students by age or gender; everyone works with everyone.
Can I afford it? Do they require a contract or direct debit?
