Shiya-Do Karate (way of the mind) is an American hybrid martial art with Japanese roots. Shiya-Do is a practical, modern martial art which harmonizes traditional, sensible, efficient, self-defense maneuvers. Shiya-Do karate is considered a “thinking” style as it recognizes contributions and input from other systematized styles of self-defense.
At Evolutionary Martial Arts the focus is primarily on striking (punches, kicks, elbows, knees, chops, blocks, and stances) but does mix in elements of pure self-defense, fitness, with minor amount of gymnastics, yoga, and grappling to create a well-rounded fighter/individual who is ready to combat the challenges that life has to offer!
Traditional forms, known as katas, are practiced toward perfection; enhancing the karateka’s (practitioner of karate) speed, power, memory, and sharpness of technique. Continuous, full-contact sparring is also another important facet of our training; as students will learn to defend themselves and react to the unpredictability of a fighting situation.
Classes and enrollment run all year round with many special events to keep things fun and exciting. Classes such as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Halloween Class, New Year’s Training, and Movie Nights help maintain a family-friendly atmosphere at our dojo. Some karateka choose to compete locally in Open Invitational Tournaments against other schools and we host our own In-House Tournament twice a year for those who are less competitive. Promotion Tests and Board Breaking Classes challenge students both physically and mentally and push them to evolve into stronger versions of themselves.
