The Lopresti Family has been teaching martial arts in the South
Jersey area for 30 years. We teach Japanese based martial arts.
We also add in our understanding of the five major classifications
of martial arts techniques. They are Atemi Waza (Striking Techniques),
Kansetsu Waza (Joint Locking Techniques), Nage Waza (Throwing Techniques),
Ne Waza (Groundfighting Techniques), and Shime Waza ( Strangling/Choking
Techniques). We have general classes for men women and
children. All levels of physical fitness are encouraged to join.
Classes content varies from simple techniques to advanced movements.
Martial arts theory is applied to all classes. Self Defense
applications are taught on a nightly basis with emphasis on self awareness.
We also rely heavily on kata training or formal exercise for our self
defense applications. Our curriculum also includes the Nyumon (beginner)
level of Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo Justu. These exercises are the culmination
of the work of Hanshi Patrick McCarthy of the IRKRS. Sensei Lopresti isCertified Karate Instructors through Long Island University and has over 35 years of experience in Martial Arts. He is available for seminars for teaching through the IRKRS under the direction of Hanshi Patrick McCarthy.
