Cascade Karate offers an energetic training environment, adherence to exceptional standards, and the practice of serious martial art. We believe it is imperative that the training of form and function must be inseparable and that the key to developing real ability lies in mastery of a limited number of skills that can be applied against an infinite number of threats.  

The key distinguishing characteristics of our practice of karate are an emphasis on distance control, evasive movement, and precision striking utilizing both long and short range striking techniques including punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. To enhance their striking ability students are also trained to employ a variety of foot sweep and throwing techniques.  As an adjunct, students are also trained in basic ground fighting skills with an emphasis on take-down defense and how to strike effectively and/or utilize chokes and joint locks to finish the opponent on the ground.

Designed as an integrated system of training our curriculum is structured so that students develop formidable self-defense skill, exceptional fitness, and an indomitable sense of spirit that leads to a never quit attitude.
