Our Workouts

During workouts, students will participate in a combination of group and individual training in the following areas:

• Kata (long forms)
• Waza (short forms)
• Kumite (sparring - slow, multiple-step, full speed and multiple opponent)
• Kihon (basic techqniques such as specific blocks, strikes and kicks)
• Flexibility and strengthening exercises
• Falls and rolls
• Self-defense
• Tamishiwara (board breaking)

Our focus on kata (long forms) and kumite (sparring), with a strong grounding in kihon (basic technique) provides for unique and thorough workouts, centering and solid self defense training.  In addition, basic elements of other arts, such as Aikido, Judo and Tai Chi, are incorporated.

Instructors

Al Reingold began training in the traditional arts in 1984 in Chicago under the tutelage of Lynn Philyaw Sensei, a master and veteran of the discipline.  In 1989 Reingold opened the Atlanta Dojo at Emory University.  He was promoted to shodan in February 1991, and currently holds the rank of yodan (4th Dan).  He has trained with such masters as Charles Plaines, Phillip Koeppel, and William Foster.

Sean Flaherty, Roger Williams, Kimberly Reingold and Shy Aberman began studying with Reingold Sensei in the early 1990s and are the sempai (senior instructors) in the dojo.
