The Twinsburg Karate Institute (TKI) is a family friendly and family oriented martial arts dojo. At TKI we teach traditional martial arts, rich in the history of the intense training of moves and techniques. We also modern martial arts that incorporate not only traditional martial arts techniques, but also grappling and ground skills. Whatever you learning at TKI, you know that you are receiving high level martial arts training.
The martial arts we teach at our dojo are not the most special part of TKI. It’s the FAMILY atmosphere that permeates our dojo and our members that makes TKI most special. At TKI students train together, practice together, and socialize together.
Although we train every student to be a future Black Belt, we understand it is the life skills we teach; character, confidence, self-control, respect many more that will be the foundation of our students for years to come.
At TKI students learn skills and techniques to protect themselves from a would be attacker using their hands and feet. The word “karate” actually means “empty hands”. Students train to be stronger and more knowledgable and able to protect themselve in a physical confrontation.
Martial arts at TKI provides a physical workout. The full body workout provided by practicing martial arts movements is an excellent way to build physical endurance and strength. Martial arts also helps students become more physically and mentally flexible. Physical flexibility is achieved through daily stretching and moving, while mental flexibility is acheive through learning to work and succeed in new and challenging situations.
Karate is so personally focused on an individual’s progress and development. Participants will quickly see themselves improving and as their abilities grow, so does their confidence. Karate challenges students to work outside their normal comfort zone and push themselves to a higher level.
Karate teaches skills that transcend the dojo and will be useful for life. Skills such as; respect, manners, sportmanship and honesty. Life skills are enforced every day at the dojo, everything from looking another person in the eyes and speaking clearly, to holding the door for parent or stranger. Karate strives to make students not only better martial artist, but better people.
At TKI, learning martial arts is fun for children and adults! We purposely utilize games and other fun activities as rewards for children who behave well and try in class. Adults form relationships and friendships with other students that last forever! If you do something you love, you never work a day in your life!
Karate teaches and participants how to have self-discipline and self-control. Students learn patience not only in their physical moments, but also in how they think. Karate teaches students to have “impulse control” and not always act on their first thought or feeling. The self-displine and control taught at karate will be helpful to students throughout a lifetime.
