We Form Whole Trustworthy People
Martial Arts have evolved through time, but their essence remains intact: the search of character perfection, in terms of balance in the personality of each one of the practitioners.
There are several ways to obtain this balance and one of them is the practice of Martial Arts.
The training consists on developing the whole body as a weapon itself through the training of karate techniques that strengthen the body, the mind, and the spirit.
Self-defense is one of the most interesting branches of martial arts, because it consists on subduing the enemy with its own strength using throws and joint locks.
Practical application of techniques and combat sequences with one or many enemies.
