We Teach Isshinryu

Isshinryu means One Heart Way and is an Okinawan martial art founded by Master Tatsuo Shimabuku in 1953. Classes are fun and exciting. Requirements are broken down in a manner that is easy to learn and retain. Class length is appropriate to each age level. Each class includes warm-ups, stretching, and martial arts techniques & requirements.

What Our Students And Parents say

I brought my son Ryan to Gail after doing a trial month at another dojo closer to our house. I was worried about changing my son after creating a relationship somewhere else but frankly couldn’t afford to stay there. Gail and her staff have continued to blow me away! I’ve known her for over 20 years, when she used to teach me karate as a kid. Let me tell you, she hasn’t changed at all!! The transition for Ryan was flawless. They were all more than welcoming to both of us. You get more than what you pay for here.

Gem Martial Arts is not only the best Karate school, it consists of a Mother, Sensei Gail and her Son, Sensei Zach; who have dedicated their lives to Martial Arts.

That being said, they, have changed my 14 year old daughter, Makayla’s life, in ways that I never knew possible!! She is more outgoing, more sociable in public, more confident, physically fit and very strong!

Jenn

My daughter NEEDED something to do & a friend mentioned GEM MA. She has only been doing this for a few months but loves it. My only regret is that I didn’t get her involved sooner. Gail & Zach are kind, caring & bring positivity to anyone around them. My daughter has learned so much & her confidence keeps building!

Thanks you GEM MA for taking the time & teaching all your students.
