Everyone had a great time at this year’s Halloween Party! Thank you to all of the members for dressing up and attending.

We watch them enter the ring. Our hearts are beating in our chests. We watch hours of practice and sacrifice step onto the mats for two minutes to shine and we hold our breath. We wait for the marks. We watch the score.

Stemming from a world steeped with deep history and traditions, karate comes with a wealth of lingo. From movements to numbers and all in between, there’s a name for that. How many can you list? Here are 10 karate terms that every student should add to their mental martial arts dictionary.

In support of Breast Cancer Awareness for the month of October all Douvris locations will be selling headbands. Students are welcome to wear them both in class and outside of the dojo for a donation of $20!

We are having a photo shoot on Saturday, October 22nd at the Bank St location from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Halloween party Saturday, October 29th at Bank Street. See the front desk for details!!

25-Minute Core, Shoulders and Hips Workout for Strength and Mobility

School is in session and routine is back. With all of the after-school programs to choose from, it’s important to ask yourself a few big questions!

This workout will be a 30/35 minute bodyweight workout focusing on building strength and mobility in our hips, lower back, obliques and abs.

Karate has the astounding ability to inflect lifelong skills, mindsets, and keys to success. All of which, help students grow in the dojo.

A call came in recently to the dojo. A lovely and kind elderly gentleman was moving from his family home and, in packing, found boxes of karate trophies stored in the basement.

Join Douvris Martial Arts for some SUMMER fun! The more you come to class, the more likely you’ll win BIG!
