Karate Shorin

"This is a great place for kids to learn Okinawan style karate. The instructor exhibits patience with beginners and insist on excellence for the more experienced. Sensei Bulow graciously shares his experience with the children and exposes them to additional guest instructors. Children must earn belts. This is not a belt factory; however, children are given enough support to do their best. Quite pleased!"

"My kids love going to karate class! It all because of Sensei Bulow's instruction. He is a skilled Black belt who takes time to work with my kids to show them proper karate technique. You can't "buy a belt" at his dojo; he makes you earn it with regimented exercise and authentic katas that show true karate form. Sensei Bulow has a newsletter that keeps me informed of all events. His prices are also better than local dojos."

"This is a small, traditional okinawan style karate school. The teacher is knowledgeable,competent and flexible. He is always talking about what is practical versus what is practiced. He is safe and really focuses on quality kata. While he follows the traditional shorin ryu system, he freely discusses different perspectives/interpretations on various moves and is happy to to try them out. He holds extra classes during the month to focus on different skills and teaches weapons too. The age at the school varies. He is always showing us how to adjust movements based on our age/ability level (someone at 47 may not have flexibility to allow certain movements versus a 16 year old). It's been a very positive experience."
