Traditional Martial Arts / Modern Self-Defense
The Juneau Uechi-Ryu Karate School offers traditional karate and self-defense classes in Juneau, Alaska, for teens and adults. UECHI Karate is a unique martial art derived from Chinese tiger, crane, and dragon KUNG FU. We teach practical self defense utilizing tradition training methods combined with a modern understanding of physical conditioning, human anatomy, and the world we live in today. Training focuses on improving awareness, coordination, and whole-body conditioning. These core principals are then applied to effective self-defense techniques, and can be applied to improve all aspects of your physical and mental well-being.
