Currently we offer regular group classes in Kanreikai Karate for adults and children, and private individualized instruction. World Kanreikai Karate is traditional Japanese full contact karate taught with an emphasis on good body mechanics and breath control. Each class is a mixture of kicking and punching techniques, stances, kata, sparring drills and body conditioning in which instructors pay particular attention to each individual's potential. Kanreikai Karate has affiliate schools in the United States, Canada, Israel, Russia and Poland. World Kanreikai Karate was formed in July of 2004 by founders Shihan Manny Matias 7th Dan Chief Instructor; Headquarters USA, Sensei Robert Underhill President; Headquarters USA, and Sensei Denis Cordeiro; Director of Montreal Canada. In the mid 70's after an extensive search, Shihan Manny Matias selected Soshu Shigeru Oyama as his master. He gave up his schools, black belt, and title as a Sensei from another style to train under the great Soshu Shigeru Oyama who was Saiko Shihan in the Kyokushin organization. After extensive training, he reopened his Dojo. When Soshu Shigeru Oyama separated from Kyokushin and formed World Oyama Karate, he loyally followed him until he stepped down as Director of the organization in 2004. A short time after the formation of Kanreikai, Shihan Shlomi Levy and his 5 schools in Israel along with the newly regrouped "New York" dojo, Shihan Jose Cotton, Sensei David Sheeger, Sensei Maria Van Dessel, and Sensei Michelle Gay banded together to strengthen the organization. These are the pioneers who shared the vision of World Kanreikai Karate at its outset. Together they and many others have developed an organization that promotes Tournaments and events focusing on Traditional Contact Karate, by continuing the teachings of the great masters Mas Oyama and Soshu Shigeru Oyama. |

What exercises can I do to strengthen the joints, particularly the knee joints? Full range of motion is ideal for keeping the joint healthy. The knee joint is best described as a hinge joint, not a ball and socket joint. It bends and straightens. -with a slight rotational torque. I see many people warming up by circling the knees, a movement that is made possible by the ankle/foot complex and does little for the knee joint. It would be better to flex and the knee and extend the knee - being careful not to hyper-extend - slowly increasing weight and speed commensurate with one's fitness level and the overall requirements of one's practice or sport. |
