Welcome to the Utah Isshinryu Karate Schools Website! This is Real Karate that produces Highly-Skilled black belts trained to be Effective in the Real-World!

Isshinryu Karate is considered to be one of the most complete martial arts systems available.  Combining the most effective and realistic techniques from Okinawan Karate, Kung Fu, Juijutsu, and Judo, Isshinryu Karate teaches a three-level approach.  Namely, those trained can defend themselves standing, on the ground, or against foes wielding weapons.  Isshinryu Karate is founded on the concept that karate skills must work in real-life situations.  This does away with fancy techniques that have no real "street" value.  The techniques taught have been tried and tested through the centuries of martial arts combat.  Students receive a well-rounded training instead of the more popular training used in "sport" karate.  Isshinryu Karate is known for its no nonsense skills and its fast and powerful techniques.  Isshinryu Karate training is for all ages and provides a complete physical fitness program .  Our dojos are members of the American Okinawan Karate Association (AOKA) and we work closely with our masters to ensure the best training possible.  Many of our instructors have been training in the martial arts for over 20 years, and have considerable experience in teaching their art.  We specialize in teaching youth, women's self-defense, and adult karate. We do not train for competition or for sport, but for life and the protection of ourselves and our friends and family around us.  This is what the martial arts are all about!  Where other forms of martial arts have attempted to "modernize" and "popularize" their skills into sport, Isshinryu Karate continues to remain firmly planted in the traditional arts and their original purpose set forth by their founders. Our goal is to provide excellent martial arts training in the following areas: Traditional Okinawan Isshinryu Karate Martial Arts History and Philosophy Traditional Okinawan Kata and Weaponry Practical Life-saving Self-defense Techniques Effective Karate Techniques that focus Mind and Body Skills to prevent Bullying, Rape, Confrontation, and Domestic Violence We currently have classes in Salt Lake City, Richfield, and Monroe, Utah.
