RI Self-Defense Center Offers Kids Martial Arts In Johnston, RI
PROGRAMS


Kids Karate
Kids join karate schools for various reasons. Some join to learn how to deal with bullies and some join to gain self-confidence. Our kid’s martial arts in Johnston, RI teaches values such as focus, discipline, honesty, and confidence through fun but meaningful instruction. Students learn real self-defense and conflict resolution that works. We stress that fighting isn't the only and most appropriate way to handle confrontation.
Martial Arts is a way of life and actually reinforces a humble and peaceful character. Come to meet our family and see why families like the Kenpo-Kobudo Way...
We may be the only dojo in RI that is owned and operated by a certified and employed Physical Education Teacher. Sensei Michael Orsini is a PE teacher in the town of Lincoln and brings his teaching expertise to the mat. Michael teaches all the Johnston Kids Karate classes and makes sure that lessons are developmentally appropriate for all abilities.
We take pride in our child students and through hard work and practice, they in turn, learn to take pride in themselves. Our dojo facilitates the development of Character, Discipline, Focus, and Respect in a FUN and SAFE manner. Students test when they are ready, and not every 2 months. This is not a race, and students really get a sense of achievement when they actually work hard and earn their belt, rather than buying it.

Johnston Adult Martial Arts
Our Adult Martial Arts Program gives older students of all ages the tools and techniques needed to effectively defend oneself in a practical and real-life situation. Much emphasis is focused on basic fundamentals of fighting and defense, as well as grappling, throws, empty hand/weapon defense and avoidance tactics.
Students taking karate lessons for beginners also learn multiple Kata and Hand to Hand techniques that have proven themselves effective over time and through trial in the dojo and on the street. RI Self-Defense Center is highly adaptable to meet any body type and ability. Everybody starts as a beginner and our curriculum builds upon itself reinforcing the body's natural progression of learning.
Our goal is to make YOU both confident and able to DEFEND yourself and your family in a dangerous situation. Men and Women alike are part of our family and trust us to teach them real Martial Arts. Come to see what sets us apart from other self-defense programs in RI.
