The Spirit of our Fighting Arts

How do you select a martial art school that is right for you? It seems they all boast the same tired platitudes: Self-Respect, Control, Discipline, Become a better version of yourself. 

It really is overwhelming! Look at the spirit of what is being taught. The spirit of our fighting arts, at Cova Karate, is based on developing a fierce, formidable yet courteous version of yourself or child. Cova Karate believes in developing your inner strength by giving you the skills to back-up your walk. 

Our approach to teaching is based on modern teaching methods, and not a militaristic approach to a by-gone era.  

While Cova Karate uses Okinawan Shorin-ryu as our foundation, we are not tied to any organization; we don’t emulate Japanese, Chinese or Okinawan philosophies, we are an American Martial arts school focused on developing integrity and the individual spirit.
