Lynnhaven Karate & Martial Arts

Coastal Virginia Karate, is the Premier Lynnhaven 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, because 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. So, both Sean and David learned Okinawan Shorin-ryu, they learned how to teach it in the Old Way.  We are your Great Neck Martial arts school.   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.
