What is ISSHINRYU KARATE?

Isshinryu Karate is an Okinawan martial arts system developed by the late Tatsuo Shimabuku, 10th. Degree Black Belt. The most notable aspect of this system is the vertical punch strengthened by the thumb on top position, and the use of speed and snap to generate power.
Isshinryu means “One Heart Way” and emphasizes the unity and brotherhood of all. We develop a skill, but will use it only as a last resort!
Bob Ingargiola's Isshinryu Karate Academy is one of a Nick Adler’s Centurions Schools located in West Virginia, Holbrook, Smithtown Long Island, Westchester, Bronx, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Although respect and discipline are foremost at the academy, there prevails a strong spirit of camaraderie as well. Students are encouraged to ask questions and actively participate in discussion groups. Promotion evaluations are given at regular intervals and requirements are in the student's manual.

Students are accepted into our training program from the age of 4 and up. There are various programs to fit the needs of each age group from beginner to advanced.
