Lonsdale Karate

Lonsdale Karate Dedicated to helping people better themselves through karate, kobudo, and aikido. We teach classical Okinawan Karate and Kobudo.

Tim has trained in Japan and is directly connected to Akamine Hiroshi Sensei, the President of the Karate and Kobudo associations to which the dojo belongs. Tim is the senior foreign Karateka in the Organization. He was also the first licensed Kobudo instructor for the Shimbukan system in the US. He is supported by several black belts, all with many years of experience. We have classes on Monday t

hrough Friday for Karate, and on Tuesday and Thursday for Kobudo and on Saturday for Aikido. Age 4-6 Karate M-W-F 4:30 to 5:15
Age 7-12 Karate M-F 5:15 to 6:15
Age 13-Adult Karate M-W-F 6:15 to 7:45

Kobudo Tuesday and Thursday for teens and adults from 6:15 to 8:00

Aikido Saturday 10:00 to 12:00

Tuition will remain at $25 per student per month per day attended. So if you attend two classes a week, then your tuition will be $50; if you attend three or more sessions, then it will be $75. Those attending karate, kobudo, and aikido could have up to 6 sessions weekly, capped at $75 per month. We serve the greater Lonsdale area including Webster, Vesseli, Montgomery, Kilkenny, Shieldsville, New Prague, Faribault, Elko, New Market, Faribault, Lakeville, and Burnsville. All are welcome to try a class for free with no obligation. We believe our quality will keep students coming back, so we do not use contracts to lock students in.

$25 - $75 a month per student based on planned attendance. Those interested in Yoga should reach out to Jessica Emerson at [email protected]. She runs her program independently and can provide class times and prices.

To choose to be truly peaceful, a person must be capable of righteous violence. Otherwise, it is not a choice. By becoming strong, we become calmer in tense situations, knowing we can defend ourselves. Often, this is the best path to de-escalate a potentially violent situation.

https://a.co/d/0j12AW3h This is a compendium of information that explains many useful things about Japan, why US Forces are stationed there, and what people traveling there under orders should know to be good partners to the Japanese Self Defense Forces. It touches on culture, history, geography, force laydown and capabilities, points of historical friction, areas of contention with Japan's neighbors, and how they may lead to conflict, language, system of government, travel, monetary system, and much more. Anyone traveling to Japan with the US Military would be well served by reading this. Anyone traveling there for personal reasons would also get a lot out of it.

This book is a compendium of information that anyone traveling to Japan will find useful. It is particularly useful for those traveling on military orders.
