Some families feel that 3 lessons max are sufficient, while others spend an entire year taking private lessons.

Their opinion may be beneficial to how you'd like to structure your private lessons. Lessons cannot be scheduled less than 24 hours out. Please cancel within 24 hours to receive a refund, or to be given the opportunity to reschedule. If extenuating circumstances occur, and you cannot make it to your scheduled lessons, please call your instructor at least 3 hours before your lesson (phone number available in registration confirmation). No shows will result in a forfeit of the lesson cost. You must reschedule via the automated invitation email you received after confirming your slots on Calendly (before the scheduled lesson is scheduled to take place).

Ueshiro Shorin Ryu is an ancient and practical style of Karate originating in Okinawa, Japan. Adults of all ages, and kids 8 and up, train together on the deck to build strength and self-confidence without sparring or competitions. Newer students learn by modeling more advanced students and progress at their own pace. Every class includes warmups, basic moves, kata (choreographed sequences) and targeted exercises focused on flexibility, balance and control. Mastery comes through repetition. Students are encouraged to attend 2 of the 3 classes a week as schedules allow. Beginners are welcome and attend in gym clothes until their first test, which requires a white uniform and testing fees. Karate is great for families, and children do best accompanied by an adult. For more information visit https://northfieldkarate.com or learn about the national organization at https://www.shorinryu.com.
