Several styles of karate exist, each with their own philosophy and emphasis. The style offered at the Kodenkan Martial Arts Academy is Shorin Ryu karate from Japan.

Karate training consists of drills, sparring (kumite), pre-arranged routines (kata) and self-defense drills. Karate, like many martial arts, is an excellent means of physical and mental training. For example, the practice of kata and its subtle movements develops balance and coordination. Kumite gives students the opportunity to practice their skills in a safe environment, improving their reflexes and ability to focus.
