At Cerezo's Martial Arts, the focus is on gaining self-discipline and building confidence, as well as learning self-defense. Self-discipline and confidence are the inner strengths which are nurtured and then mobilized to create a more healthy person in mind, body and in spirit and in turn enable them to defend themselves better.
 

Classes consist of karate basics:

  • blocks

  • hand strikes

  • kicks (consistent with Japanese and Okinawan open-hand systems)

Classes consist of jiu jitsu basics:

  • locks

  • throws

  • falling

  • ground fighting

Basic forms (katas) are taught as exercises used to practice fighting techniques. And basic one-step techniques (combination of blocks and strikes for self-defense.) are also taught to give the student a working knowledge of each technique taught in the class. Through martial arts training, sensei Abe strives to teach kids a better way to communicate, have respect, acceptance of people for who they are and willingness to learn new things while keeping an open mind. As for adults, sensei Abe strives to show them healthy ways of relieving stress, learning self-defense and getting a good aerobic workout.
