A true, fully authentic, form of Okinawan karate. Shorin Ryu, Shorinkan, as it's taught by Sensei Franz and his black belts train not only the physical aspects of the body, but more importantly, the aspects of the mind that so commonly keep a person from reaching their potential. No matter the age, nor physical capabilities of any person, the training adapts to fit what the student needs. From 6 years old, to 106 years old. From fully functional physical abilities, to a body that has seemingly less capacity. From those with full mental confidence, to the most reserved and shy. In a way most have never allowed their minds to believe a realistic possibility, there are changes that ripple throughout each person, unique to each. The comprehension of respect, family, dedication, perseverance, compassion, commitment, honor, maturity and so much more.
