The
Martial Art of Kara-ho, founded in Hawaii by noted martial artist,
Professor William Kwai Sun Chow, has roots in Kung-Fu but also incorporates an eclectic blend of techniques and movement from many different martial arts to create unique, decidedly
street-effective self-defense; impressive empty-hand
kata; and effective, eye-grabbing weapons
kata.Our classes are taught with careful attention to tradition and formalities while employing creative and innovative teaching techniques. We endeavor to help our students to understand and implement the warriors'
Code of Bushido in all aspects of their lives. This code emphasizes the personal qualities of respect, loyalty, duty, honor, courage, and perseverance. In Kara-ho classes you can expect to learn self-defense, self-respect, self-esteem, and self-reliance from within a nurturing family type atmosphere.
