Kage Geki Karate was born out of the idea that all ranges are important, equipping you with the skills to excel in stand up striking, the clinch and ground grappling.
It is a modern Karate system that is a great way to exercise or to compete in. The system is full contact but when we practice in class or spar it is usually semi-contact unless preparing for a competition.
The roots of Kage Geki Karate is Kyokushin Karate and integrated Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA principles.
Try 2 classes for free to get a feel for this modern approach to Karate. We train in gi and No gi with higher grades being introduced to a Japanese Samurai weapon called the Hanbo which is a 3 foot stick.

The difference we put emphasis on that makes us different besides the integration is on character development. To get your black belt or higher, it is not solely technical but has a strong emphasis on community contribution. 3rd Dan upwards is solely on community contribution. This can be in the form of volunteering for the homeless, donate blood on a regular basis etc.
Kage Geki Karate (影撃空手) - Means Shadow Strike Karate, which the main principles of a full contact Karate style uses evasive footwork to angle and control the distance to deliver strikes where the opponent can't see where you are striking from.
