About American Freestyle Karate
American Freestyle Karate is a complete Martial Arts Instruction
and Training Center.
Our core curriculum is a fusion of the Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do and
Aikido martial arts systems. This curriculum combines the most
practical techniques from each of these three honored traditions to
create a unique and highly effective system.
Shotokan is perhaps the most comprehensive of all the Japanese and
Okinawan karate styles. The founder of Shotokan is the instructor who
actually coined the phrase “kara te,” or “empty hand” as we translate it
in the west. Tae Kwon Do is the well known Korean martial arts system
that stresses the use of kicking techniques. Aikido is a Japanese
martial art that utilizes wrist locks, throws and the attacker’s own
momentum to create extraordinary self-defense techniques.
The American Freestyle curriculum is also an active, aerobic, body-
sculpting fitness program. In class workouts nearly all activity is in the
middle of the aerobic range, with plenty of intervals. Fitness experts
have determined that mid-range aerobic activity produces the greatest
fat-burn. more about AFK click here . . .
