About AOK

ABQ Okinawan Karate 沖縄空手

Available for anyone age 7+. Build confidence, self-respect, and respect for others – and get physically fit while doing so! This group will learn & practice traditional Okinawan karate here in ABQ on a weekly basis.

We teach aspects of Okinawan martial arts to strengthen the body and mind, based on the TOKAR system. Our kicks utilize a mixture of Taekwondo and Okinawan kicks that have been Americanized. Our self-defense techniques utilize vital point striking, pressure point manipulation, joint locks, sweeps & takedowns, situational awareness, and deescalation. We tailor self-defense to the individual’s strengths and abilities.
