Te Ryu Dojo

Directions Website

Te Ryu Dojo The Te Ryu Dojo teaches Okinawan Uechi Ryu Karate (pronounced way chee roo). Classes are offered at no charge.

The Uechi Ryu Karate style was developed by Kanbun Uechi, a native of Okinawa, who traveled to southern China at the turn of the century and studied various martial arts styles. However, in exchange for each hour of instruction students “pay” for classes by performing community service. Over the years this simple idea has resulted in thousands of hours of community service being performed right here in our own back yard.

Welcome back! It's a brand new semester and we're excited to learn karate. Join us this Thursday, September 17th at 6PM in the Martin H. Glynn Municipal Building Gym for the first night of open registration.

Classes are open to all and children under 7 years old are welcome with a participating adult guardian. New students do not need any special equipment, but should have dark pants or shorts appropriate for working out and a light-colored t-shirt (no graphics, please). Students may work out barefoot or with *clean* sneakers (they don't need to be new, we just don't want dirt, mud, snow or rainwater tracked across the gym.)

Classes for beginners will be held from 6 PM- 7 PM on Thursdays.

The Te Ryu Dojo is a not-for-profit organization and there is NO FEE for registration or classes. Since we are a community service organization, students are required to perform the equivalent of 1 hour of community service per week in return for weekly instruction. This is required of students of all ages.

Registration will remain open through Thursday, October 6th, so if beginning-of-school activities have packed your calendar, there's still time to enroll! Please message the page or email service.teryudojo(at)gmail.com with any questions.

We're excited to see our returning friends and meet new ones- see you this Thursday!
