Seminars

OCIGK seminars are extended sessions beyond our regular classes. Seminars span a varitey of categories including but not limited to: methods of defense, advanced kata, sparring, or exercise. These seminars are highly recommended for those wishing to expand their knowledge beyond standard class parameters.

Seminars are regularly offered throughout the year.

Nunchakus

Nunchakus are some of the most easily recognized weapons associated with karate, and a litany of techniques are available to be learned concerning the holds, swings, stops and combinations.

The mandatory student age for nunchaku lessons is 10 years old or older.

kubaton

Kubaton is one of the more subtle tools associated with karate and used in the name of self-defense. Often being connected to other tools such as key rings, they are formidable when used with the correct knowledge and training.

Kubaton seminars are offered to adults only.

Martial Distancing

Martial Distancing is a concept wholly conceived by Shihan Matt. It is heavily associated with self-defense, and involves managing the space away from an attacker to ensure dominance combat no matter the opponent. This seminar focuses on controlling the spacing through movements, attacks and more complex techniques.

women's self defense

This seminar encompasses the basics of self-defense for adult women. Students are taught basic self-defense techniques and movements along with multiple strategies to prevent, deter, and safely retreat from dangerous private or public situations.

Women's Self Defense is open to all ages and experience levels but is recommended most for female beginners.
