about Blue Life Karate Centers

Welcome Message

Thank you for visiting Blue Life karate Centers. We are proud to be the area’s most preferred martial arts training center for children, teens, and their parents.

The process of instruction in our school is to understand that the needs of children are not the same needs of adults. So, at Blue Life Karate Centers, we are like two schools in one. A curriculum for children, which is structured to be exciting, fun, and life skill building and a curriculum for adults which is structured to teach realistic self defense application for possible personal protection. We achieve this mission by teaching the martial arts as a complete discipline of mind, body, and spirit. Our training methods are fun, informative, and very interesting for the whole family.

If you are interested and would really like to explore martial arts as an avenue, please feel free to browse our web site and sign up for a free intro class. I am sure that your experience will be a rewarding one.


Sincerely,

Shihan Durand Howard, 7th Degree Black Belt, Founder

Member: U.S.A. Martial Arts Hall of Fame


Blue Life Karate centers opened its doors in 1993 and has grown to become the most preferred center in the area.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to make our students more successful in life through the practice of Ninjutsu offered at our school. We do this by teaching martial arts as a complete discipline (mind, body, spirit) which in addition to developing physical defense, encourages the formation of high personal standards and respect for fellow men and women. Through our practice and teaching, we strive to produce individuals who are positive, respected and contributing members of society.


Here at Blue Life Karate Centers we are focused and determined to serve our students with the highest quality instruction, professionalism, and the best service in the industry. To achieve our goal we have implemented programs that cater to the individual interests of our community. Our Students range from all ages with interest varying from stress relieving, health promoting exercises to intense, traditional training that the Martial Arts are so famous for. All aspects of our center are arranged to build a balanced relationship of trust and respect with our students. We offer discipline and character building in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere that anyone can feel comfortable in. So if you are ready to feel great, become disciplined, focused, confident, and alive then come in and see us. Our doors are open.

We have three main goals for our students:

LEARN PRACTICAL SELF DEFENSE: Blue Life Karate Centers has a system of natural, easy to learn movements, which are designed to allow individuals aged young and old, male or female, to defend themselves against aggressive, often larger opponents.

PROMOTE BETTER HEALTH: In order to eliminate wasted motion and promote increased speed and power, students are taught to become more relaxed and fluid. The way we train also has an aerobic effect. This improves the cardiovascular system (hearts and lungs) and accelerates the body’s metabolism, causing you to burn more calories and to lose weight. Regular training also results in increased balance, flexibility, strength, muscle tone, speed, coordination, and improved reflexes and timing! Once in better health, you will not only look better and feel better, you will also have a lot more energy to do the things you enjoy.

DEVELOP A STRONG MIND: In this aspect, our curriculum surpasses all other exercise and sports activities. Our program is taught according to individual needs and levels of skills. Through our instructor’s guidance and encouragement, students begin to establish, and actually achieve, personal goals. Students learn that, by setting realistic goals and applying dedication and hard work, anything is possible. They develop confidence! The virtues of Respect, Concentration, Discipline, and Motivation are the characteristics of a truly confident individual. All these, and more, are stressed by our Staff. We thank you for wanting to take interest.
