The adult program at Waga-Michi Karate is unlike most of the rest. First off it is not the same program that the kids learn. It is
the same battlefield art it has always been and is not a watered down tournament sport. Our students practice and are proficient in
the 5 ranges of “combat”.
With over 16 years as a police officer in Indy working the rough beats, 1 year as a bouncer and, 19 years teaching the Martial
Arts. Sensei Likens has the skills and the experience to teach you the truth of self-defense and close quarter combat.
In most schools the Sensei says “do this, it works.” How does he know it works? Did his teacher tell him it did? And did his teacher’s
teacher tell him? If Sensei Likens says “this works” he knows it does from a real life encounter. Fighting in tournaments, being a
champion at a game is not the kind of experience you deserve. Having used skills on the street with real bad guys is the kind of first
hand knowledge you want when learning to defend yourself
Anyone can train at our club provided they are of good moral character and are willing to work. Our program is philosophically based
in Bushido, the code of conduct followed by the Samurai.
