"At Mind-Builders I learn things that help me in school - like listening." - Student, age 7

The Martial Arts Program at Mind-Builders is centered on the Goju Ryu Karate practice. Classes are taught by Master Thomas Bennett, who has been studying and teaching for over 45 years. Bennett, who holds black belt ranks in both the USA and Japan, emphasizes the importance of developing personal and self-discipline while teaching the hard-soft techniques Goju Ryu Karate is known for. 

The program is designed to help students develop the necessary skills to enhance their lives through the discipline and challenges of martial arts training. Goju Ryu Karate classes are offered for beginners and more advanced students, ages 5-18, and allow students to safely advance to whatever level they wish to achieve. Classes are open to all ranks/levels. 

Participants learn breathing techniques and muscle tension, a balance of combat and self-defense techniques (punches, kicks, blocking), and close-range fighting techniques. This program benefits physical strength, posture and breathing and builds self-discipline, focus, and spatial awareness.
