Karate for All.

Since the creation of Enso Karate, being inclusive, accessible and adaptable has been a core value of mine. I’ve been somewhat experimental in various areas from class etiquette to grading requirements, trying to find the best way for all (there isn’t one). It’s an ongoing process and you will continue to see changes in how things are done. While there are going to be certain standards for specific things like black belt (also adaptable to some extent) I don’t want anyone to miss out on achieving their potential because of problems with the system.

I have certainly faced my own challenges in martial arts and study in general that were not always met with appropriate accommodations.

If there is anything about classes or grading that anyone is finding to be a barrier, please reach out either in person or by message/email so we can look at options moving forward.

Nothing fits everyone just right, but with an open approach and willingness to change, we can try to fit everyone.
