Odayaka Martial Arts is a teaching school dedicated to the art of Shorei-ryu karatedo which has its roots in the antique Okinawan martial art of Naha-te. We emphasize self improvement and character development. We believe that anyone can be successful in the study of karate and provide training that is geared for the individual.
Shorei-ryu as taught at Odayaka Martial Arts consists of kihon waza, kata, bogyu waza, kumite waza and kumite.
Jim Brumbaugh is the head instructor. He has studied karate since 1963 and has been teaching for over 30 years.
Bruce Baird, Carolyn Berg and Lynn Forbes are also fully qualified instructors at Odayaka Martial Arts.
Beginning immediately and during the demonstration, we will be accepting
non-perishable food donations at the dojo. Like last year, the donations will be given to the local group FEED MY PEOPLE who distribute needed supplies to families in our community who could use some help this Christmas season.
COME AND BRING FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
PLEASE BE GENEROUS.
There is a special need for main course items like stews and hearty soups,
but all non-perishable food donations will be gratefully accepted.
OMAS will be giving away a one-of-a-kind, hand-made, quilted lap throw. Raffle tickets are $5.00 each and will be available beginning Tuesday, December 8th. The quilt was donated to benefit the dojo in the coming year.
Quilt is made with 100% cotton, multi-colored Oriental motif fabric and is approx. 42" x 63".
WOULDN'T IT LOOK GREAT IN YOUR HOME?
