Every Three Weeks on Wednesday
12:30pm
(15min, one session)
We are excited to announce our new program “Karate Exercise”!
Karate was developed over a thousand years ago as a form of unarmed combat to discipline the body and improve the spirit.
World class instructors from Kyokushin Karate of Los Angeles will give you a set of beginner’s level exercises from their basic movement. With their English instruction, you can practice at your work or home by yourself. Increase alertness, self-awareness and self-confidence by conditioning the body and improve speed, strength, and co-ordination.
There will be one 15-minute session starting at 12:30pm. Just go to JFLA's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/JFLALC).
Achieve the unity of body and spirit!
*We recommend comfortable clothing and space so you can move freely during the session.
