Class Schedule

A Brief Karate History

Karate (Shorei Goju Ryu Style)
We offer separate Karate classes for children and adults. Our children's classes are designed to help increase attention span, motor control, awareness, discipline, and respect while learning fundamental karate skills. We also emphasize and reward academic achievement. Our adults' classes emphasize awareness, discipline, self-defense, and physical fitness while building strong karate skills.

Kickboxing
In our kickboxing classes you'll do much more than run in place and wave your arms in the air. You'll get a great aerobic workout, and you'll learn proper techniques for punching and kicking. Learning good technique is important for two reasons: you are much less likely to injure or strain your joints and muscles, and if you are ever faced with a self-defense situation, you will be much better prepared to protect yourself.

Typical classes include stretching and calisthenics to warm up, kicking and punching drills, shadow boxing, kicking and punching the bags, working with focus mitts and speed bags (just like the pros), and partner drills (pairing up to do crunches, practice kicks, and work with the medicine balls). Handwraps and boxing gloves are required and are included in your initial sign up.

Executive Boxing
Broad Ripple Martial Arts is pleased to announce the addition of executive boxing classes to our schedule. These classes are designed to teach men and women the fundamentals of boxing. No previous experience is required! In each class you will work and train like a professional boxer. We focus on getting your body in shape, building solid offensive and defensive techniques, and teaching ring generalship.

Classes are taught in our boxing gym, which includes a regulation boxing ring. Typical workouts include aerobics, punching bags, heavy bags, speed bags, focus mitts, shadow boxing, and paired exercises. No actual sparring is required. Anyone participating in sparring will be required to wear headgear, a mouthpiece, and groin protection (for men). Classes are 2 hours in length; all sparring is totally controlled and supervised.
