Adult Martial Art Classes
Team Karate Centers incorporates a combination of techniques and principles from
a variety of Martial Arts styles including Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing,
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kali, Kobudo, Wing Chun and weapons all of which provide
our students with a well-balanced, "street smart" self-defense system. Most
other styles of martial arts tend to focus on just individual areas of
self-defense. Combining the best of many styles into a blended system gives TKC
students the advantage they need to protect themselves in virtually any
situation.

be in control of your mind, body and emotions with the intent, direction and
skill to "take care of business". Never be a victim learn highly effective and
powerful self-defense skills that will protect yourself, family and friends. All

endurance, and physical vigor!
Our program is a total fitness package combining strength, endurance and
flexibility. We incorporate the latest exercise physiology, which assists in the
development of all your muscular systems, building greater strength and
definition. We give you excellent cardiovascular conditioning, expanding your
heart and lung's capacity while you burn off calories. The result is a
tremendous increase in energy, giving you what you need to last all day long.
Each class also includes a variety of stretching exercises that help you to
avoid injuries and keep you feeling young and agile.
Consistency is Your Key to Success
Just about any workout will give you some kind of results, if you do it
consistently. Some of us however, find that "doing it consistently", even a ten
minute workout, can seem like an eternity. At TKC, we provide a fun, safe and
exciting environment that makes consistency a joy... and gets you into the best

CONQUER YOURSELF
Why? Why study at TKC?
Time is short, for us, for our
children. Why make time and sacrifice to study any martial art, especially at TKC?
Not for you? Actually, TKC may not be for you. If you're interested only in
getting in shape, toning up, and looking good, then join a gym or buy some
barbells or just stop eating when you're full. Although TKC will put you in top
physical condition, that is not its central point. Also, if you're interested in
bloodsport, in learning how to bludgeon someone senseless so that you can feel
good about yourself, TKC is not for you. Although TKC will teach you how to
confront violence, it does not relish causing pain or exploiting the body's
fragility.
So, then, why? Why study TKC? It is to CONQUER YOURSELF.
Surrender your fears. We are all filled with fears. We knew them as children.
Fear of others, of falling, of hurting, of monsters, and the dark. As adults,
our fears don't disappear; they just transform. We can't admit them since we are
supposed to be adults. So we hide or repress. But the fears, they lurk not in
the dark, but in the darkness. And, like invisible cages of the mind, fears trap
us in inertia, bad relations hips, bad situations, valleys of weakness. In this
state, we don't live everyday: we instead die a little everyday.
Secure your
birthright. As human beings, freedom is our birthright. But freedom is
threatened by fear. To defeat fear, we need self-confidence. But not the kind
promised today, on television, by charlatans and salesmen pitching self-esteem
in a bottle or a book. True self-confidence does not come from simply telling
ourselves that we are great, having parents tell you that we're great, having
sycophants ingratiate us with compliments. This simply creates deluded
individuals, believing that they deserve everything notwithstanding their basic
incompetence. And they know deep inside that they are frauds. True
self-confidence, leading to freedom, can only be earned through relentless
physical training under the guidance of an ethical tradition. By doing what we
swore we could never do, we become proof of self-transformation. And through
these lessons, earned through bruises and sweat, we cut through
self-doubt to earn our confidence.
Lead all others. And if you should become
one of the few, the one in thousands who achieves a Black Belt, you will have
become a leader. The world is desperate for leadership. Everyone is weak. We
succumb to the coercion of others or the seduction of baubles and material
greed. When crisis comes, we are desperate for a hero. That hero must bear the
weight of thousands. But only when one has conquered one's own demons can one be
that hero, the one to lead all others. The strength immanent from one who has
conquered himself is obvious. Others will follow.
Become. Why? Why study at
TKC? To become. To become fully human, surrendering your fears, securing your
birthright of freedom, and flourishing into one who commands without having to
speak a word. That is TKC. By force of will, you conquer yourself. In so doing,
you become a flowering exemplar of humanity.
This is TKC's challenge.
Heroism lives.
It is your calling. |

TKC is a very family friendly, pro-people, warm and inviting martial arts studio. Everyone is welcome regardless of their background, physical abilities, ethnicity, preferences or otherwise. Every time I train at TKC feels like a gift - I've never been anywhere that feels like "home" the minute I walk through the door every single time. Master Fariborz has created an environment where not only are fantastic martial artists are produced but, empowered, responsible, loyal contributors to society as well.

TKC has been such a wonderful place for me to learn and grow, not just as a martial artist but as a person. The mind body spirit connection is in full bloom here. I've met such warm and wonderful people and studied with some of the world's greatest martial artist. The guest instructors and seminars are amazing, and within the course of an average week, the variety of classes offered by TKC staff offers so much diversity of technique! It is the only studio I know where I can learn so many different styles all under one roof. And while the technical training is outstanding, the emphasis is always on peace. That's like a zen koan I am still trying to understand, but it's true: all these fighters are the most loving people! I am so grateful to have discovered TKC, and I don't know if I would have continued in this art if I had gone to any other school. The personal attention, the vibrant community and the excellent training altogether make this a truly special school.

This has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The more time I spend here, the more impressed I am with what Mr. Fariborz has created and the people he has surrounded himself with. I only wish I had done something like this when I was younger.
I look forward to continuing my journey with you.
