Cal Poly Karate

🥋 Are you interested in trying out martial arts? Try Shorin Ryu Karate at Cal Poly SLO! Open to all students regardless of experience level. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to try out a session.

🌟 Not only will you learn various self-defense techniques, you will have a good workout that trains your body and mind. Shorin Ryu teaches balance, discipline, strategy, efficiency, and many more skills.

‼️ We have an upcoming FREE workshop for those interested in seeing what Shorin Ryu Karate is about. No experience is needed. You can register for classes through the ASI Shorin Ryu Karate page.

👊 Classes are Monday and Wednesday from 6:45 to 7:45pm in the Mat Room at the Cal Poly Rec Center. Wear clothes you are comfortable exercising in, show up a bit early to stretch and come try it out!
