Hilltop Karate

Coastal Virginia Karate, is the Premier Hilltop Karate school, we have a unique approach to teaching karate. Our focus is to develop your self-defense skills.  You will begin your training with very specific stances and hand movements.  The purpose of the hand movements is to develop new muscle memory, and to reprogram instinctive reflexes using tried and true methods from Okinawa.  While you learn the hand movements, the stances are designed to strengthen your legs and posture.

Okinawan Shorin-ryu Karate is the basis of our style.  Our director, Sean Schroeder, and assistant instructors Kyoshi David Colaizzi, &  Vihn Dihn  have over 50 years of combined training under Kyoshi Noel Smith, a direct student of Nakazato Sensei from the mid 1960s.   We use modern teaching methods to convey traditional ideas.  Our classes are fun and encourage cooperative training between students. We believe teaching is to learn.
